What is the best way to anchor a garden bridge?

The bridge was built from a kit bought on line. However it is lightweight and we have strong winds in our area so we are concerned it will blow around. It was bought to set over a decorative dry creek bed in our backyard.

If you can pound a rebar rod into the ground in the correct position to correspond with the bridge, then connect it to the bridge using metal screw on clamps used in plumbing. Then hide the clamps with foliage or grass.
If it were mine I would attach 2x4’s or 4x4’s, maybe 12” long depending on how much extends from the bottom inside frame. Dig holes to correspond at least 8” and fill securely around posts. To make it really secure partially fill holes with cement first.
Try using the anchor kits for swingsets to anchor it down.
