That would be further for me Wayne. But I actually send these through a place I buy a lot of steel from in Emory, so I don’t even go there anyway. I just carry them to Emory and pick them back up in a couple weeks. I had them do a well cover for me about five years ago for an old hand dug well and it turned out real nice and still looks the same. I will send a pic of it later

Here is the well cover. It is about 40” in diameter.

whoops. I didn't read the whole tread, which explains the nuts.

Wayne - they built a galvanizer place in Waco within the last year or two. I haven’t used, but that is an option for you.

I had AZZ shoot me a general estimate this morning for my tower. They have a minimum charge of $350. Is that the same where you are at?

Arizonian,
I know you’re asking the original poster that question, but that seems accurate to what ZinkPower (Waco, TX) charges as their minimum when I called them and inquired in 2021.

These cost me $300 for the 12 anchors. But I sent them through another company that gets lots of stuff done there so I would guess that mine was just part of a larger group of parts

Thanks for the info about Waco. I'm only 47 miles from Waco plus wouldn't have to drive up I-35. I have found in a lot of cases any price is cheap no matter what it is if you can get the job done.
