No access along one side so the pull would be vertical, I suspect
enough to pull a simple "tent peg" out. Once it started to move it
wouldn't take long to be pulled even further out. Being out trying to
work in an F7 or above is not my idea of fun even without rain. Hence
the query about how good, or not, spiral or disc type ground anchors
are.

My current idea is for a ground anchor at each corner connected
directly to both frame corner pieces with an eye bolt and turnbuckle.


Aldi have some "ground screws" which might be useful - or, why can't
you just excavate a small hole, shove a piece of steel in (or even
a timber post), and fill it up with concrete, & fasten to the shed
with a coach bolt?
