My one is Dutch, Venlo style, with a lot of internal bracing. The uprights and diagonals are galvanised steel and there are lattice beams going across from eave to eave. It's pretty windy here too- we regularly get 90 - 100 km/h in winter.
The large internal space is proportionately better at retaining heat, easier to maintain temperatures and gives better movement of air. I am finding that my plants dry off much more quickly than my previous set up (6m x 3m low height).
