Get REAL stakes. Our dome has survived +40 mph winds a couple times. Stake well, use the tie out guys, keep the rafter poles tight.

At about 6 minutes you can see the stakes we use, and the hammer.. LOL.

When setting up in the wind face away from it. We were camped on a beach and a severe wind gust pulled the stakes and wrapped the dome over the trailer. It broke the centre rafter in half. We repaired it with a wooden dowel. If we suspect that its going to be windy we use the guy straps. It also helps if the sides are rolled up as it allows the wind to pass through.
