If it was the last friday / saturday it would have wiped out half a dozen scopes.

I would agree that this can be a concern and in high winds it could pose a real hazard. I built a simular structure a few years ago as a shade house for my wife's orchids and I found that U shaped pegs pushed over the gound tubing worked very well. If the weather was turning inclement or was gusting strongly this would be my most likely approach.
I do like the visual imagery of you comment above
