I know you built a wood frame Quonset hut that was covered with a poly tarp that was latex painted to keep the uv damage down.  How is it holding up, especially the tarp.  I'm looking at a temporary storage like this.

 It's a two tarp & latex paint system on the Harbor Freight silver tarps that last maybe 6 months in the western sun untreated.. Process goes like this:

The first tarp is pulled in-place and nailed on the perimeter - plastic banding strap is stapled every 6" on the ribs - second tarp is pulled over and nailed on the perimeter - two coates of latex house paint rolled on - lasted 8 years in my blazing sun and 100 mph wind gust area... The 1st tarp was still good...

Anybody know what the fabric material is that is used on larger structures, such as the airport at Denver?  I've seen malls that have this type fabric incorporated in the roof, usually tensioned with cables.  It must last a long time.  And, expensive, most likely.

It's teflon coated fabric $$$$
