This sturdies it up a bit. Just an ideal if the winds become an issue. The greenhouse looks awesome by the way.
I was thinking the same thing. Only it doesn't nessesarily have to be an X. He probably could get away with just running little ropes across the top every few feet.

I would go ahead and do that to be honest. It looks good but a 35mph wind could change that.
