Fastenal, www.fastenal.com is a good source for anchor bolts. You can either go
to your local store or order online. Online has the stock while the stores may
be hit and miss. As for a homebrew baseplate, be very careful. I have seen
baseplates bend when they were made from too thin of material or the anchor
bolts were too far from the tower legs. I would insist on a professionally
designed baseplate assembled by a certified welder. There's a lot of force
exerted on the baseplate for a freestanding tower. Compression isn't really the
issue but tension is- that's what ruined the baseplates I mentioned.
gl es be safe,
