As another possibility I would suggest looking at the King Canopies at Sams Club. For $200 you can have a shelter. A few of things you want to make sure of if you go this route.
1st try and locate it with a wind block.
2nd make sure you anchor it well.
3rd I use rope for extra snow load support between the poles from side to side and length ways to form a checkered pattern about 2' square.
4th and most importantly is make sure it is at your home where during the "big snows" you can go out and push the snow off the top so it doesn't fall in. I use a broom from the side if it gets too high or from inside if it's only 8" or so.
I have been using one for 5 years for our boat and then last year for the Kubota since I still haven't gotten a new shed up.
I do have a good wind block as I have a row of pine trees to the West and the House to the East.
Good luck,
