How to stop the fabric of my tunnel from ripping apart?

Morning all,

I believe that due to strong winds it seems it is slowly ripping apart the fabric of the polytunnel where they are joined by the stitching.

I was wondering what I can do to help stop the situation getting worse?

Was thinking of getting several pieces of rope and chuck it over the tunnel anchoring at both sides which should help stop the fabric from blowing about in the wind.

Anyone else had a similar problem?

I know people use tape to repair and strengthen

Is one with a green mesh reinforced plastic covering that has Velcro tapes to secure it to the frame?

When I first erected one of those and secured it with all the tapes as per the instructions it started to rip in a couple of places at the ends around the circular part of the hoops, but after I released all the end tapes (I thought it would allow stresses to disperse better) it stopped splitting.
