According to Keith Boeheim :
We are having a concrete driveway put in next week and we want to put up
a 16x16 out building next year. I am having the pad for the building
done at the same time as the driveway. For safety reasons I don't want
the contractor putting in the threaded anchors for the walls during the
pour. How can I install these anchors next year when we are ready to put
up the building?

I can appreciate the concerns that you have about protruding bolts
being a hazard, but a properly concreted-in J bolt is so superior to
just about everything else, that for a 16x16 outbuilding I'd strongly
recommend installing them now anyway.

Put cinder blocks or flower pots (why not with flowers?! ;-) over/around
them or something like that to eliminate the safety/tripping hazard.

If you do choose to install later, research concrete anchoring
systems on the net, and follow the instructions of the one you
choose _to_the_letter_.

Unless this shed OP is putting in next year is metal, he should lay up or
pour a proper foundation stub wall. Even a PT sill plate sitting at slab
level is asking for trouble. Yeah, an 8 or 12 inch wall sticking up for a
year is a PITA, but less hazardous than J bolts sticking up from a flat
slab.
