This is late, I followed you over here from the tent discussion in the catty place. Mine is made that way, and has survived several EXCITING camping events in Ansteorra, kingdom of whirlwinds. It's staked down within an inch of my life, with double guys on each pole and a groundstake on each pole base to prevent excessive spread. Having the walls wrap around or securely tied to the poles does help.
Adding a dagging strip around the edges of the cover will help it shed rain. I cheated and used a fabric with a pattern I could follow, which helped IMMMENSELY, but you may not be as flamboyant as I am.
