Concrete is going to get poured soon and I'm wondering if I should put any anchors points into the floor? Any suggestions out there?
Thanks in advance for the help.

I put in a couple of these. I like the zinc coating.

I sunk them in when the slab was being poured. I used 3 inch galvinized carraige bolts. I pinched washers between 2 nuts at the bottom of each bolt to keep the washers in place. Now i have a nice anchor or lock anything down.

Have you considered floor pots? That would be what I would do. It will be pricier but it will look a whole lot cleaner, be way stronger than you need, prevent tripping and make cleanup a whole lot easier.

Just starting my garage build and was thinking of fabbing something up for anchor points, but those look like a great option when i pour the slab.

an anchor point on the backwall centered to the roll up doors are good for winching in dead vehicles. pull pots are the strongest/cleanest option.

I put a D ring in after the fact, and use it to turn my hoist into a winch. It's very useful.
i used pipe about 6 foot long, saddled a shorter piece in the center with chain inside it attached to the long one. Four links pull above the top to hook to. Covered it with duct tape when i poured. Put in 8, 3 on one end 3 on the other and one on each side in the middle of a 16x30 so can tie off any where. Put them down before the wire so will have to pull the floor up before they come out.

I like the anchors in post 16 of this long dead thread. You can do just about anything you want with those. Pull, move around grinders or vices the limit is your imagination.
