I'm not sure if this is the right forum to seek advice, but I'll describe my
problem and maybe someone can help.  I'm planning to build a 12' X 16' shed.
I plan to anchor it on piers to save the cost of a poured slab.  I live in
Alabama so the frost level of the ground is not a problem.  I plan to dig 9
holes and use concrete forms to make piers 1 1/2 feet below ground and 1
foot above ground.  Apparently from what I have read there appears to be two
ways to anchor the rim joists.
1.    Lay the joists on a metal post anchor that is secured to either a J
bolt that was put in the cement pier when it was still wet or let the cement
dry and then anchor the post anchor with a power load and nail it to the
pier.
2.    The second method is to put a 4" X 4" post in the center for the
concrete form and pour the cement around it.  Leave a couple of nails
sticking out of the post in the wet cement.  Then nail a double 2" X 4" rim
joist to the post.
