Thanks for the links.
In my part of Chandler, most of the time the monsoon rolls in from the south
via Casa Grande. But maybe 25 percent of the time it’ll come in from the San
Tan Valley to the east. But since I’m in the city with lots of trees and
obstructions around to attenuate the wind somewhat, I’m not as worried about my
pier (once I have it!) tipping over as much as all of the dust getting up under
whatever cover I use. Be it a sail cloth or a roll of observatory. That stuff
gets into everything!

Although the prevailing winds are from either side, and can blow in either
direction. The wind flap will move in either direction with it.
Winds from north/south can pass through. Understand that the sailcloth
cover is for protection from the Sun. Hence the Telegizmos covers.
The roof does prevent a lot of rain, though.
