I also live in Buffalo and sometimes we can get some hellacious wind storms. Our last wind storm the gusts got up to 75 mph. My neighbor got a green house last summer and the wind pretty much destroyed it over the winter. Those skeletons aren't cheap and I'd be worried about wind storms knocking it into the next neighborhood.
