I don't know what type of soil you have but my dad in Florida used mobile home auger stakes to secure his workshop and "Florida room". These stakes are 5 feet long, 1/2 diameter steel. The top has a loop that you put a 2x4 in as a lever. You then cork screw into the ground. He used three on each side, threw cable over the roof and a come along hand winch to tighten them down. He lost some shingles thats about it <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />


>>>*My Dad did that back when I lived in a tiny little trailor. But he set what we call a "deadman". That is a big Cedar post buried sideways down about 6 feet, then he ran cables from that to the upwind framerail. That worked, too. We had the Columbus day storm, wind coming in sideways at 110 MPH and all the trailor did was hop up and down. That was so long ago I almost forgot about what can happen here and at the coast.

I plan on setting a new roof plate and reshingling what is left of this one, maybe use some liquid nails this time. One didn't seal down and that is all it took, once one came loose the rest just went.

If that doesn't work I will get out my wire feed and steel frame the danged thing, bet that would stop it.

That sounds like overkill but I have the steel and I have the welder, it would be easy to do. That shed sits sideways to any Southeast wind. We are completely protected from all directions except that one direction....*EB
