The other thing I've seen recommended for securing these sorts of greenhouses/hoophouses is a simple dog stake on opposite corners. Our 12 X 20' hoophouse got lifted up and moved about a foot in a bad wind storm, but we think the 55 gallon drums filled with water along one side of it kept it from going any farther. After that I thought I better get a couple stakes, but haven't yet. It's been up 1 1/2 yrs now and I don't live that far from Claudia.

I really love having the hoophouse for season extending.
