[Towertalk] Help locating freestanding tower

[Zac Smith]

you dont want grade 5 for a tower, or stainless, stainless is too weak and
grade 5 is to hard, theyll break under stress, you want A325 type 1 or 2,
its a structural grade bolt, itl  stretch under high stress instead of
shearing off at the head, trust me ive been stackin iron for a long time
