If there are no braces running from the end wall to the next few hoops, how does it resist racking?
All the tech specs I find show some kind of bracing running in the direction like in the last pic I posted.
I'm not saying u are wrong or I know better b/ c I certainly don't. Just trying to wrap my head around this.
The truss or scissor bracing, I've been told, was for snow load and/or to hold the weight of interior crop supports like vertical strings for trellising.
