I took a steel 24 foot, 2" OD mast to a local galvanizer to do it to make it
rust resistant and pretty as I would use the mast in one of my future
towers. They said they had to put two small holes in the ends to suspend
it while in the "tank" so I said sure. When I got the mast home, it was
warped as if it was made very hot while suspended horizontal...catenary
curve type. Now it is not straight and when I put it on the garage concrete
floor, you can see its warping. Tough lesson learned I guess.
