I don't yet want to reveal the manufacturer, but I'm somewhat upset about this quality.

Is this acceptable for a 30' model sold with extra "snow load" features? In my view, the glue alone makes this inexcusable.

Other rings that I see online have more than two layers, good glue coverage, fully sanded and sealed. The construction here is two rings of 12 2x6 segments reduced to a curve.

2 layer rings is common, this ring simply wasn't made correctly by anyone standards. There is clearly not enough glue. the surface as a whole should be covered with glue not just a line of it.
