So the wind picked up, noticed that the bike shelter had broken it's fixtures so they were up graded, however tonight it's tried to take off again

So currently used cargo tie down straps to attach to ground ancour & bike & lots of spare parts, got to be close to half ton, will take photos later for next pride, hopefully bike will still be under cover & not airborne overnight.

I bought big marquee metal stakes for my bike shed. No problems ATM.

got a bike barn for my, erm, ahem, shed overflow storage problem, its like a big folding siver cross pram cover, or if you like, a convertable car roof, it lifts and folds to open, been up for 18 months now, wind neever bothered it yet.
perhaps you need to look to formula 1 steve, instead of screwing it to the floor, you need to fit a spoiler to the top to give it ground effect, that way, the stronger the wind, the more secure it is..........
