master cylinder sprayed up waiting for a gloss black coating

Master cylinder is ok. But things that have technical names... when yoy can use a common nickname for it instead.
Like gate latch... not london style up and over latch

get some old steel rims and slide the legs of each corner through the holes in the steel rim try to use a hole that is just bigger than the legs as then you can use a ziptie or a jubilee to stop the leg from sliding back out.

just a thought

My advice from hindsight is take the cover off if you can it stands a better chance as wind can flow round the poles easier

When we have one up , we use the pegs for keeeping dogs in a back lawn , ( they screw down into the ground about 9 inchs) then we use rachet straps to hold it down, but andys right if you could take cover of it , maybe evens use it to cover the car the frame wont be catching much wind at all then
