If you shorten the pole a few cm you can peg the bottom of the door a bit further out, which will allow the sides to pitch less flappy.
Also, a shorter pole will ease the tension (visible in your photo) between the bottom of the struts and the top of the pole, allowing the tension to be between the top of the struts and the top of the pole (as I think the design intends).
