Yeah, that's why my Telegizmo goes almost to the ground. There also another
thin material cover that you cant see, under the Telegizmo.
It also prevents the Telegizmo getting caught on any edges.
I'm sure you'll come up with something in the end.

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 itâll come in from
the San Tan Valley to the east. But since Iâm in the city with lots of
trees and obstructions around to attenuate the wind somewhat, Iâm 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
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.
Here's the complete album:
