Will this Costco Lifetime storage shed hold up to strong wind? Yes, find out how! 

Had to drop a like on this just for the decency to include your outcome of "Yes" in the title, then offering details in the video. Wasn't even looking for this kind of content. But you're like my RU-vid hero for that one bro

I just purchased a 7x7 resin shed and installed on a wood frame base. This is exactly what I "thought" I should do as far as anchoring the shed to the ground. Thanks for confirming my brainstorm. ;-)

Thanks for showing how you did your tie-downs. I'm going to give that a try.

Thanks for the tip it answers a lot of questions just by viewing the whole setup on you video.

Here in Kingman, Arizona the wind only blows twice a year, six months from the north and six months from the south.

I'm thinking of using a shed of this type to replace my pumphouse, had not thought of the wind factor, thanks for the good idea.

Thanks for the tip, I’m forwarding your video to my spouse :) great looking shed ya got!

I built an arrow shed and tied it down just like you did except I used trailer anchors. Your video it great. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent video. I learned a lot.

Thank you, Scott, for the helpful video! Can you comment on the type and size of drill bit you used to make the hole in the rebar? I'm going to try what you did on a shed and have found most the parts I need except for the bit.

One suggestion for you. I’m in the business of rigging and I was always told not to “ saddle a dead horse”. This means the clamp saddle should not be on the “dead” end of the cable. The cable looks like it has twisted and really can’t tell if it’s on the live side of cable or dead side. Just a suggestion. It’s not like you’re holding down 10 tons.

If its anything like the one we bought from Lowes over a decade ago. It held up to hurricane Sandy. And it has a little warped roof from not being able to clear the snow from a blizzard before the snow turned to ice. And we couldn't get to it for a while and it still doesn't leak. We paid under 700 including nj sales tax. I have been offered 300 for it by a neighbor. I have decided to take it when I move out by the end of year. Wooden platform will have to be replaced in the future but the shed would cost more than 1000 for similar shed. It is worth every penny we paid. But it survived several hurricanes and blizzards. It's plastic!!!

that is a great idea…. i will be doing this when i get mine 💯👍🏽

Very helpful, thanks!!!

I have the 8 x 12.5 shed. I like it a lot. My held up through hurricane Sandy with no issues.

Excellent will factor this in before building ours. Thanks

I hope you may show us the one before building the floor. I have no idea what the floor looks like and how to ensure it is to attach to the ground. Thanks!

Just got ours thank you very much we have a brick base so was thinking how to properly anchor it have not even started assembly cause it seems impossible task 😎 Thanks for video

Some one should give you a Laurel.... and Hardy handshake for coming up with that idea.

7 x 7 bolted to concrete foundation. Southern Idaho thunderstorms and winter snow storms. No issues in 3 years. Door closure issue mentioned in another reply are due to a problem with foundation level.

EXCELLENT 👍

AWESOME !

Thanks for vid and steel rope idea!I will be using it in a upcoming build. Bloody brill idea... Question! The steel rope holds the steel truss and holds walls down ....how secure is the roof pannel to roof truss and walls? Do you need a strap over the roof for extreen winds? Regards Graham

Thank you

I know from personal experience that if you do not do anything but screw the floor to the wood deck, it will blow away in an 87 mph wind from Hurricane Zeta.

You shed sits just like mine does here in Texas. Stockade fencing around it. That’s cut the wind down a lot.

Near Lubbock, TX. Mine held up to 75 mph severe thunderstorm winds with nothing more than came with the kit, with the floor screwed to the wood deck. Wasn't sure if it would but it surprised me.

Very helpfull thanks. Do you think this would work on the cheap metal sheads from Lowe's? I don't have a costo

I'm blown away (pun intended)... that my local town allows these to be put up with no ground anchors. They are tossed around like playing cards in even the weakest storms. I placed a 2x4 sill around the entire interior parameter and over the shed resin base with concrete anchors to the 24x24x2" (100 lbs each) pavers I had, screwing the shed sides to it as well. I then built internal 2x3 walls the sides are screwed to in the corners and top... not only to hold it, but provide internal storage shelves. It is not going anywhere in our Buffalo weather.

how is this holding up to rain? Any leak at all, i am sure there are small gaps with this type of plastic resin shed, on the roof and on the edge where wall meets the floor.

Scott, this is a great idea! Can you comment on the best way to attach hooks to the wall of this shed to hang cables and rakes/shovels? I'm not too handy and the Lifetime website charges an arm & a leg for this.

What size and how much is the shed? Thanks

Thanks Scott , but did you saddle a dead horse, because the saddle appears in the dead end of the cable rather than the live end? My husband pointed this out. Great video. Explains a lot.

My friend installed one these sheds couple years, five days after installation Ontario suffered huge storm the reported wind speed around 90 kms/hr. After my friend arrived home from vacation he saw the foundation to his shed first thought which came to mind someone stole his shed inside someone mentioned his shed was discovered few kilometers away destroyed in another persons backyard. The moral to this story everyone ensure the shed is properly secured to the foundation thankfully no body was hurt just egos and his home insurance covered his flying shed.

How about gravel flat ground? Onstead of cement.

If I’m putting it on a concrete do I need a frame on the floor first ?…

I'm buying 1 today they are 77 percent off 99 bucks.im going to use it for an entry way to my camper

Mine isn’t anchored and just built and it doesn’t blow away

Anyone have the cable length for this anchor setup? I have this exact shed and am waiting for a non windy day to put it up. So if I could get cable lengths that would be super helpful. If not I guess build it and drive like hell to the ha=dare store for cable LOL

I’m looking to buy this shed , do you recommend?

Those won't blow away. I had one it took a hit from our famous Minnesota Straight Line Winds.

This video is a little bit misleading, as I was expecting to see how this shed can cope in high winds without any modifications.

Thanks! Do you have to route it through the rafter frame? Could i just gonover the roof? Any downside to this? I only have 1 rafter brace(7*7 shed) thas why i ask i would like 2 lines just incase.

What do you defind to be heavy wind? Like 60mph?

Costco shed? Do you the model number?

My HOA doesn't allow plastic sheds.

LOL at the cable.🤪 you didn't need it. I assembled mine by the instructions and have never had a problem. Plastic sheds are very awsome.

Texas doesn’t have wind! Come to Louisiana and your first hurricane would be a wind test...

These sheds are junk don't waste your money. The doors never shut properly. Wind can probably blow this down. I had mine less than three years and roof caved completely in during normal winter... not sturdy at all...

Will it stand up to wind? Well, we'll never know for sure because I modded it so this video is a waste of time for anyone wondering how they stand up to wind as is.

Don't buy one of these!!! Trust me!

You put stuff in it. Problem solved.

I will try this if I'm going for a tacky look
