Nor does it lok like any of the American Steel, or American Standard towers.
Both the one and two bolt per leg versions use round, horizontal cross
braces.
They did have a 5' section designed as a "dirt base", but the flat braces
are closer to something like 10" to a foot tall.
At least [bulk} isn't getting the files flushed, but I've not seen one that
had the word digest in the subject line in several months.
