Attach a hook, eye, or even a large screw to the four corner at the bottom of the frame. Get a roll of light aluminum wire from Lowe's/Home Depot. Tie one end to the first eye/hook/screw and just stretch the wire over your covering from corner to corner. This is exactly what I do but I stretch the wire about every 3', parallel to each other so that the wind can't blow under my solar blanket material and lift it.
