Wait wait, I thought you were
pro-govt. ...maybe just for others.
Well anyway, POP gives some good advice.
I would look to the garage for some shear (lateral) support. ...reinforcing the garage walls and/or ceiling as needed. Or maybe run an arbor structure over to the house (use it to help keep the roof from being a push over.
You could also make a "shed roof" sloping from the house. (would cover your entry, as a bonus)
I wouldn't rely on the plastic just ripping off in a bad wind.
