While you can place your shed (with or without a floor) on bare dirt, we highly recommend first laying down a gravel pad. The gravel will add a layer of moisture protection between your new structure and the ground so that water from rain and snow won't turn your shed site into a muddy mess.
Start by looping a strong cable or strap around a structural part of the shed, such as a support beam or frame corner. Securely attach the other end of the cable to a ground anchor. You can use auger anchors, ground screws, or even heavy-duty stakes for this purpose. Ensure the cable is tight and there is no slack.
