We had a 6×8 aluminum frame greenhouse in our garden that did not survive the northeast blizzard this winter. Snow caved it in, many pieces are pretty bent/twisted, though damage is mostly limited to the ridge pole, rafters, and top wall plates. There’s no chance I ever get all of them bent back to what resembles original, so I need to reinforce all the damaged parts.
I’m open to any suggestions for the best way to do this. So far my leading idea is put a wood frame around the whole thing and fasten the aluminum pieces to the wood frame. The greenhouse panels are polycarb and slot in nicely between the aluminum frame, so I kinda think I need to try and get those back up somehow.
FYI in thepictures I have already taken down the rafters.

I would reach out to the manufacturer of your greenhouse and see if they offer replacement parts. Share pics and give a sob story. They might send you parts for free or low cost. If not, fabricating beams with wood might work, but you will have thin more vulnerable areas.
