Don't forget those without the capital to keep patching it up! -

How typical, stories like that are right up your street! -
I trust you've secured planning permission before taking the shed down? There can be issues if you don't.

No memory of that, it got wiped straight after. -

Wish I had a really steep drive.

That's what hedges are for!

How about two of these. Fix direct to the deck on each two front corners. https://www.amazon.co.uk/SS8-Support-2-8inch-Bracket-Galvanised/dp/B09WJM15JX/ref=mp_s_a_1_25? For the outer 3 fixings, bfo stainless coach bolts. The inboard fixing might need to be a stainless steel nut and bolt. Then your 3x3 corner legs come up off of these. Edit: Shop around on price.

The ideal would have been to carry your 6x6 posts up to handrail height where they would have doubled as corner posts. You could look to make it as 3 stud walls in your workshop, then hoik them up. Affix your corner posts with galv brackets. Many ways to skin this cat but you gets what you get when you make it up as you go along! This idea with the gap at the bottom would allow for shorter standards:
-
That's only 1/2" gap overhang either side. With 5" you'd get an inch either side. You could even think about routing a drip groove on the underside.
-
Try Multisolve and follow the instructions. WD40 even used sparingly.

The flat deck board will fill up with sh!t, water will lie in/on it and it'll go green. It needs a chamfer for water to run off. If using 3" posts I'd use 5x2, so 1" overhang. Me being me I'd chamfer the top. Tbh buy from a wood yard and they'd do for a couple of quid if you can't. I'd sit them on the 3x3 posts, draw around them underneath and route a 3/8" or so deep pocket. Thus the handrail locks onto the upright. Secret screw from above using some stainless screws.

Give the little sods a sledge and pick them up at the bottom.

I was mulling over covering the steel frame built over them in plastic sheeting as I never got around to the netting. I imagine that would keep the temperature up even through winter. -
You don't want to upset SWMBO too often, slippery slope that.

Option 4. Move.

Should have put UFH in the drive! Seriously, I may well do so on mine, just two strips the width of the car wheels. Heated by compost, biogas, bfo ST array or something.
-
Get some 5x2 and chamfer the top like a cap stone? Route or groove the underside for the handrail standards to sit in.
