Tip. Use mobile home ground anchors and straps if you live in an area prone to exceptionally high winds or if you have a large shed. Add a third strap and set of ground anchors over the middle of the shed if you have a long garden shed.

High winds can easily topple garden sheds, and the resulting cleanup process from that happening can be long. The best way to keep your storage shed in place when the winds pick up speed is to use ground anchors and ties. The Federal Emergency Management Agency recommends homeowners in hurricane-prone regions use this method to secure their sheds, but you can use it wherever you live to thwart the damaging effects of the wind on your shed.

Tip

Use mobile home ground anchors and straps if you live in an area prone to exceptionally high winds or if you have a large shed. Tie a thick rope around the middle of the shed right before a wind event to protect the door from flapping in the wind.
