I found the H13 roof pretty stable in wood - build from the back forwards, then at the end the two vertical boards hold up the roof peak. Seemed to be easy to build and very stable. When we lifted it up on to the walls we had a bit of drama with the point of the roof falling past the level we wanted it at, but that was fixed with a bit of brute force and a lot of screws ;)
