Default Ground anchor?

Could I fit a ground anchor to a wall? or where I live I have a carport with a steel roof and frame (see pic) would that be good enough?

Also I'm getting the ZX6R as seen in my avatar pic, I want to know if my security is good enough as I seem to live in a hot spot so I will have an urban chain and lock, xena disc lock alarm, grip lock, bike cover, thinking of a security light, thinking of an almax chain and datatool snitcher, your thoughts?

I have a small ground anchor attached to a brick wall. It seemed better than the slabs on the ground - however either is probably relatively easy to shift, and therefore not the best method of security. And they might nick your bike, then your house falls down!

I think you need a dog

A solid concrete wall will be just as good as a solid concrete floor to fix it to
