Default Focus Upright 4 Tier Cloche - how to stop blowing over??

I am tempted by a nice four shelf vertical cloche with a clear plastic zip
up cover. But can't see how to prevent it blowing over. The thought of
many trays of carefully raised plants in pots in trays all spread over the
ground it frightening.

The plastic completely covers the metal frame so I cannot see any way of
guying the thing. Any thoughts?

If this is the type of product elsewhere retailed as a mini-greenhouse,
then my experience is that sufficiently heavy pots on the bottom shelf
do the job, especially if stood against a wall. (But no doubt
sufficiently strong winds will overcome any precautions.)

The problem I've encountered is that the plastic rips.
