Yep - check the scrap yards before shopping for new "I" beams.  In either 
case - get the scrap/steel yard to have a torch man cut one end of each "I" 
beam at about a 45 deg angle. Then after you drill holes just inside the 
angle cut you have a built-in guy wire equalizer plate to attach turnbuckles.
