I set those into the concrete when it was set up a little bit. I decided it wasn't worth it so just did it on one corner.
I poured concrete at each corner 16 inches deep and 8 inches above grade, 14 inches square. Between those corners I put a rubble trench foundation with large rocks in the bottom and gravel over that.

Subject: [papercreters] Gathering Picture question
So us dummies can understand what you guys are doing. What are the hurricane straps for? What are they embedded in, papercrete or concrete? Did you screw the 2x4's to them? Or are they just for alignment? If it's papercrete how long did it have to set before it was strong enough to hold the straps?
ThanksBob the builder
