Even though it looks nice I was going to say the same thing.
I wont get into the detail but pulling on the middle of the middle line will create tremendous side force on the side 2X4 boards.
Think of leverage and how it works.
There needs to be at least one more board running parallel with the top lines in the middle going from side to side connect to the side boards the top lines are tied to.
Better yet two divided evenly doing the same thing.
Guy wires on the uprights will take care of the other part.
