Simple garden shed (3m x 1m)

Haven't received any useful advice from Stratco - so trying to come up with a few silly solutions.

e.g. dig a hole into crushed granite base, fill with concrete, thread a metal U pin over the shed flooring and into the concrete hole

But perhaps there are some better ways?

Any advice would be very appreciated

thank you thank you!

If it has a fixed floor, put some heavy stuff in it? A couple of bags of sand would do to start with.

When I first took over my allotment, there was a 5’ x 4’ thin tin shed on it with no base. It was laid on some very heavy paving slabs and screwed to them. I was told that before this, it was always blowing over in heavy winds.
 
How about "climbing frame anchors".
They are a Metal rod with steel disk on end.

Doing a Google search their price seems to vary a lot.
This is cheapest I could find

Also , knowing how sheds and climbing frames rot at their base I would not screw the anchor into the bottom most price of wood.

I would screw whatever anchor you get into say the corner upright wood a good 10cm above ground level.
