Completed Dome!

Hi All,
Recently completed installation of a 2.3m Sirius Home Dome in the back garden. The dome came with a pier, Takahashi EM200B mount and Takahashi TS225 plus a number of accessories. The installation took three weekends with the help of a builder with footing and floor. I will need to give the dome exterior a good clean as it is not as nice and bright as others in this thread.
I live in a rather windy town, Wellington NZ, and have a strap I run over the top as extra security in high winds. Is there any way of adding additional "hold downs' to this type of dome.
Cheers
John Field
