I just put those flaps down and tied them down to see what it would look like. I'll leave the flaps up unless there's considerable wind and need to tie it down. Also, will have hooks on both ends of the cord so it won't be much trouble to simply reach up and unhook it from the brella, fold the brella up, store rods and move. You're right though, they'll be a little trouble but I figure that's the price I'll have to pay for shade!
