That looks solid. Obviously, I don't have to worry about the extreme weather you deal with in the winter, but your window covers got me thinking. Around here, there are a lot of century-old German and Czech open-air dance halls. They have large, wooden shutters like you've put up, only hinged along the top frame so they can be swung open, upward, and held in place with a chain. Would that be a viable option for you? It seems that would save you the effort of installing and removing those covers every year.
