I have my shed permit in hand finally and am getting started next week with the concrete. It is only 8 x 14 and I am going to attach the bottom 2x4's to the concrete with j-bolts in the concrete. I have everything else figured out for the most part but can't find a reference for how many to use. My overkill side says use one in every stud opening but that is 30 of them which seams a little excessive. Studs will be 16 OC.

Let me know what you think.

Yes I know it is not that big of a shed but zoning and money dictate something short of a full garage expansion so get off my back.

One J bolt within a foot of the end of each board and then one every four feet.
