At the bottom of the outer 2.5' stakes, run more nylon string. Throw plastic or whatever you like on this and secure the bottom to the nylon string with clothespins - or whatever you come up with. That way when global changes happen - you can open up the lower part to get some air.
If I were to build a lower tunnel - that's my initial thoughts.

Cool idea, but here's one concern. If it rains, water will pool in the sags between the horizontal strings, getting heavier and heavier until the whole thing comes crashing down. Or, if you catch it in time you slit the plastic strategically so the pooling water drains. Don't ask me why I feel this might be a concern...
I have learned that a single string across the peak of my low hoops works best.
