Wasn't sure where to post this.

I'm thinking of buying a fairly inexpensive tiny shed to put close to the garden, just for the garden tools. But I've searched, and nothing says how to anchor it so it doesn't blow away. It is made of plastic. Any ideas how to do this?
DH suggests just putting some cement blocks inside it, but that might take up too much room. It does have a plastic floor.
Suggestions?
Thanks.

Are you setting it directly on the ground? If you're putting it on something like railroad ties you could bolt it to them through the floor. Otherwise I'd think you'd want eyebolts attached to guy wires into some sort of deep ground stake. - http://www.ehow.com/how_7368662_anchor-rubbermaid-shed.html

Since it has a bottom and you have one your looking at, first thing I would do, is download the owners manual and see what it says. Typically they should cover something like this.
If it didn't have a bottom, then the ways to do it, can have an effect on taxes.
