Portable shop tent awning

I consider this to be a valuable tool especially when the Texas sun starts to heat things up, but some may not consider it to be a tool at all so it is posted here
# years ago I bent up and welded together the corner and center pieces for an portable shade. This year I down sized the framework a little since I needed to place it in a slightly more confined space. Last year at 1 time I had 12 ft tall legs under it so I could get dump trailers and other taller equipment under it also I had it stretched out to 28 by 30 ft as that was the size tarp I was using. THis year I am hoping to only need it for a few weeks while we get much of our stuff moved but I still wanted some shade to work under so it is 20 ft by 20 ft and 10 ft high in the center.
It is also doubling as a place to hang a bunch of my chains so I can get them all in one place and easily find them for binding loads down to the trailers. The hanging chains also serve to help hold the thing down in high winds Right now I have about 600 lbs of chains hanging .

Normally I used ropes or cables in the rings that I have welded to the braces to hold things together but since I needed to weigh it down a little with the shorted smaller structure this year I just hooked a few chains on it
