Get a few loads straw in it quick to break the wind lift is best if you could ?
Or a few loads stacked around the outside, as straw stacked inside will deflect the wind upwards-ish?
If one outside wall of straw falls over you've got a kite.
Stack straw inside at 45 degrees to wind directions? or in a diamond shape in middle?

When it comes down to it there's very little you can do.

Looks open landscape too but bound to know prevailing wind direction.

How's it looking @Pa85 ?
It's turned a bit rougher here now since 4pm. It was quite nice before - windy but bright.

Feb 2014 we had a couple of weeks of stormy weather as we were putting up a pole barn for machinery and we had to park machines against the uprights.

Yes the shed survived, one end sheet lifted slightly that was all.
Hopefully that's the end of the weather until it gets finished

I like your shed. Would you build like that again or buy an all steel kit? Would there be much difference in price? I could do with similar to keep machinery inside also.
