The main idea now is to simplify things. Here's a possibility: a 6" wide by 4" deep concrete connector would run between the posts. In other words, the posts would be connected all around with reinforced concrete. This would make the structure more rigid, and hopefully, more stable in high winds.
The advantage to this idea would be that it would take a lot less concrete than a 640 square foot slab. Or even a smaller slab for that matter.
Such a connector could be built in a week or two by yours truly working alone. Maybe another week to dig out the post holes. Finally, a third week, I could have all fifteen posts in place. This looks like a feasible project.
From that point, I would have something to build upon.
