It's was just a sun shade structure.
With no bracing not much snow is needed to cause problems. Looked it up ranges from 4 lbs per sq ft and up.

That's what I love about the South! (Gulf coast)

But specs (SOW) most definitely did say that it has to cost less than X.
So you get what you pay for.

That's a really sweeping generalization - there are people who don't want to learn in at all ages, from 3 year olds to 100+, just as there are people who do, who can, and who care. The youth of today communicate in different ways from the "generation before them", but that was ever the way.
Attaching labels to groups of people and saying "all these won't / can't fix things" dehumanizes them as well as doing those that do want to learn a major disservice.
But it's easier, because the "won't learns" stick out, they complain instead of investigating - so those that do get on with it get hidden in the noise.
The young are as guilty of this as some of the seniors are - they label all those born before 1990 as "boomers" and insist that none of them can cope with any modern technology. Conveniently ignoring that the basis for that modern tech (and quite a good chunk of the modern tech itself) was invented, developer, and manufactured by those very "boomers" ... But again, the ones that genuinely can't use modern tech stick out more!

Or an observation, my dear Watson.
A few hundred years ago, there was evolution and a struggle to survive. Now, all survive, regardless of life-choice.
You can say that any child said so during history (which can be easily proven wrong), but things keep changing quicker every month, and so, the outlook for any children. They differ more from the previous generation then then previous ones, because tech and health improvements.

You have to understand the world that they are growing up in. My grandchildren have been watching videos on mobile phones from the age of two. And since the marketing people want you to upgrade on an annual basis, young people see this as the normal way of things, and don't question it.

The answer used to be "did you try rebooting?"

Don't you think that our higher generation would have thought the same about us?
I think this is the way of the world, no complaints.

Thanks for admitting you can't be bothered to help fix a situation where you generalized and dehumanized entire generations.

When the diswasher stops working and they don't make that part anymore .... "Get a new one".
If the OS doesn't support the device anymore ... "Get a new one".
When you lose a crown .... "Get a new one".
If the forum can't answer your questions ... "Get a new one".

“bad stuff floats on top”
must be the corollary to
“cream rises to the top”
Which one is correct?
I learned
“bad stuff smells bad”

Get a new one when the cost/benefit of replacing is higher than the cost/benefit of fixing. Personal reasons includes (e.g. I want / need that particular feature that I won't get by fixing what I have, like Galileo GPS).
