    Sorry, I thought you designed these things yourself. Jokes aside - I was asking about the wind because you mentioned the strength of the cables. And then I piggy backed the water comment on there because I’m lazy and it seemed like a good place to put it. I agree that it’s not really relevant to your comment.

      Okay, fair enough, sorry I was a bit short with you. Steel cable is astonishingly strong and as long as it’s correctly engineered it won’t be an issue. Wind loading is going to be included in the calculations for just about any structure, especially this, but whether wind could like… toss the dirt off of them I don’t know. I thought that’s what you were asking.
