i would reconmend some type of mansonary rather than wood. it can't rot. i actually pored a small pad for mine to be bolted too( addional reason for the pad, alot stronger then drilled or epoxy anchors)
I helped a friend anchor his Liberty safes in his shop years ago. We cut up the concrete floor where they were going and dug 2' down for each of the four anchor points on each one. We used 1" stainless threaded rod that came in 3' lengths and set them in high strength cement, capped them with 1/2" plate, and then re-poured the concrete over the plate with the 1" rod sticking up about 6" above grade. We then formed and poured two runners around the exposed rods so the safes would sit on them like pads about 4" off the floor. We drilled 1" holes in the safe floors to correspond to the threaded rod and bolted them down with an extra 1/4" plate in the bottom of the safes. Needless to say, they ain't going anywhere anytime soon....... and he was also talking about later on pouring walls or using steel plate to box them in completely. I don't know if he ever did that, as we lost touch over the years.
