I agree, use the deflappers with the velcro straps. I use 5 on each side.

There are several tiedown methods. I rarely remove the legs from the FW although you can do that. The tiedowns I use I got at Camping World and have been very happy with their performance and longevity.

I like the spiral stakes that come with this one. I think they hold much better than the tent stakes you pound into the ground at an angle.

The straps go over the barrel on each end and are plenty long to adjust to about any height you want.

This winter while in the Rio Grande Valley we bought a windscreen also. The windscreen is anchored in nine places at the bottom. Plus, it has grommets along the sides so I ball-bungee it to the Hold-Awn straps at each grommet. If I recall there are 3 or 4 of those per side.
