Just curious - have you run any calcs on your proposed elevated
anchors? If they're going to be six feet above the ground, I don't know if
they have adequate strength for your application. My suggestion? Don't do
ANYTHING without proper engineering okay.
What county and state are you in? What are you putting up?

An I-beam is much stronger. I would use it and not round pipe.
