There were also canvas straps for the X bracing between each arch. But what I have found to work the best is running a ratchet type cargo strap from each end of the tent. I hook it on the peak, and run the other end down to a large stake in the ground a reasonable distance from the tent. 45° or a bit more of an angle on the strap works out pretty good. Tighten those down, and in combination with a stake in each foot of the arches, the tents will not go anywhere. Otherwise, these tents become reminiscent of the Wizard of OZ as they fly up up up and away.
