Eric, I don't have any experience with the Quictent brand itself, but did buy 2 similar hoop houses (7x15') back in 2010.
I'm a little surprised that the wind alone tore the cover on yours; but the workmanship on the seams and such isn't exactly topnotch on these inexpensive structures, so maybe that was what failed? At any rate, mine were apparently not at all UV protected and after one summer the plastic cover deteriorated (with tiny squares of plastic falling out from in between the mesh that was embedded in the covering). After that I used one of the frames to make an arched trellis by covering it with "remesh" (concrete reinforcing wire) and it has held up to growing even very heavy birdhouse gourds. The other frame we eventually re-covered by adding some wooden framework and wiggle wire.
The first year (2014) we just covered it with some cheap 3-mil plastic film, which also fairly quickly deteriorated; after that we used 6-mil greenhouse film, which is now going into it's 7th year, being left up year around with some very heavy snowfalls. And, while we don't have to deal with hurricanes where I am, there have been winds up to 60 mph a couple of times.
You do, of course, need to have the frame anchored down well - mine has a ground anchor inside each corner, fastened to the framework with heavy-duty cable ties. Without a cover on it I think your frame would be fine as long as it's anchored down; for high winds when the cover is on, you need to make sure all of the door and window openings are closed so that the wind goes over the top of the GH and essentially pushes it down, rather than going inside and turning it into a sail.
In short, I'm quite impressed with the strength of these frames but disappointed with the covers that come with them; however, the frames themselves are probably worth the price that they are sold for.
Happy gardening!
