I believe it is well-anchored. To keep it from folding, the diagonals you have so far are good but consider installing a main diagonal on each of the 3 walls without the door. They should run in the opposite direction of each other on the 2 parallel walls.

Basic rule of statics in the wind: too rigid and the wind will tear it apart, not rigid enough and the wind will collapse it.
