No idea. But good point.
Although we get savage winds, it'll be in a fairly protected corner of the garden and the platform is only ½m high.
Concrete pads won't be feasible timewise. But the spikes look like a good idea. I'll treat the feet with some end grain and maybe some of that plastidip-like roofing paint.
Would the spikes prevent sinking?

Any idea how heavy it is? I would have thought there was a risk of tipping if you are in a windy area and it is top heavy, so I would be looking to bolt it down somehow. I guess minimum effort would be the post spikes, but I would be tempted to make 4 concrete pads for the legs to be bolted to.
