This is the one I built, step by step - thank Nette for posting them!

They won't blow over, but will skid around on the ground in heavy winds. To keep them in place, drive a metal fence post (or two) by one end and just tie it to them. Took me 4 hrs to build, we have 3 of them, (2) 8x12 and (1) 8x16. Total cost was just under $80.
If you wanted a bigger one, weld two panels end to end and make it larger. Might have to add some interior bracing, I don't know yet... but we're gonna try a big one this spring.
