I shall not try to cover your questions, but instead offer just one
recommendation: have your Stratoglass, or equivalent, cut and stiched so as
to cover the zippers. My original enclosure had zippers along edge of the
"smiles". When I added some new side smiles, the canvas shop cut "u's" that
privided vertical sides with small radii at the bottom corners. And, they
provided overlap so no rain comes in through the zippers. Looks much
better, provides maximum air (we are in Florida, not Massachusetts) and no
leaks when closed.
