Lotsa YouTube research on holding theses things down, it’s all an experiment, kinda. There are 24 trampoline stakes holding the frame to the ground. Not yet added is the tie downs that will go across the house which will be a diagonal run from front to back and then back again. The extra 4 inch’s of material that they purposely put on the bottom edge is buried into the ground that’s all to hold the cover down.
One person on YouTube living in Texas on a windswept landscape greenhouse held down as such survived 65 mph winds and she didn’t bury the extra material just ground stapled down. Wind getting underneath and lifting the house up is the main concern, block that your are good to go.

Hopefully not like Dorothy.
