If you really cheap a learned a great trick years ago. If you ever need to
tie some 2x4's etc to concrete drill s 5/32 hold through the 2x4 and the
concrete drop in a piece of 14 gauge copper wire and then bound in a 3 1/2
nail. IF you don't believe me try is and then try pulling it out. YOU WON'T
WITHOUT BREAKING THE NAIL.... The copper expands into the concrete and it
stays there...

I've done it both ways and I recommend putting in the anchors now and
covering it for the year. It's much easier and much better.
