Default Raised bed - questions about hoop/row covers

I'm looking into building a few raised beds for next season. I found these plans and am going to follow them pretty closely. http://www.sunset.com/garden/perfect...0400000039550/

The design includes PVC for creating hoops, but I have some questions about that.

1) I can't imagine the PVC stays by itself during high winds. What can I use to secure it?

2) What sort of fabric should I be using for the row covers? I've found numerous sites selling various types of row cover fabric, but what is best bang for your buck?

3) Should I anchor the fabric to the ground as well as getting the clips to attach it to the PVC?

Thanks!
