Coop stability?

I wasn't sure how to put this in the title.

Basically, I live where it is relatively windy. If I build a 6 x 6 coop, will it need to be connected to posts that are in the ground?

Its according to how it is built, the angle of the roof, how heavy it is, etc, etc. Remember the coop does not have to be that heavy when built---it just needs to be heavy so the wind will not blow it over/away----a cement block set on each of the 4 corner support after its built adds a lot of weight!!

Its windy where I live but the coops too big to blow away. but if I was concerned about it. Id get some big screw in the ground dog stakes the have like a handle to screw them in. Then you can take galvanized strap, run it threw the dog stake then up to coop side and screw it in a couple places. These but in around the coop will hold it down. I'm thinking that is something like trailers use too to strap it to the ground.
