tower this seems a little odd to me. Can any one  elaborate on this subject?
 
    Sure. You don't need galvanized (that's for  another application) and 
they don't need to be bent at the bottom. A welded  nut at the bottom 
accomplishes the same thing. A Professional Engineer  calculated what's required for your 
application and that's what meets the  codes and calcs.
