Sheds should be anchored to the earth or the proper base, such as cement slabs. One of the main reasons for this is that a strong gust of wind could knock your shed off its foundation. This will result in substantial damage that is expensive to restore.
Many people ask “Do I need to anchor my shed? Does it really matter?” Well, it depends on size, climate, zoning laws, and other factors. Many sheds require and should have some anchoring. If not, they are more likely to be displaced by strong winds or shifting weather conditions such as seasonal freezing and thawing, which could induce ground displacement under your shed surface. Even a fraction of an inch of shed movement will cause havoc on your shed doors. Floor rotation will cause your doors to get out of balance, making it very difficult to open and shut your doors, and this will only worsen over the lifespan of your shed. You could also be dealing with a dangerous situation in which the roof framing is breached, which may be the worst-case scenario.
