Rather than sending out the materials list and instructions individually I'm posting it here for those who would like it.

The following tubing will telescope into each other. The supplier I bought it from has a short form name for it. "HOLL STRUCT TUBE SQ". Make sure your tubing will telescope. Don't buy tubing that has the joint weld on the inside as this won't allow it to telescope.

2 PC CHS 2" X 2" X .100 wall X 60" (5 feet)

1 PC CHS 2" X 2" X .100 wall X 48" (4 feet)

4 PC CHS 1-3/4" X 1-3/4" X .100 wall X 18"

2 PC CHS 1-3/4" X 1-3/4" X .100 wall X 12"

4 PC CHT 3" X 1-1/2" X 1/8" (.125") wall X 8"
you can use .100 wall for this. My supplier did not have any in stock.

1 PC 2-1/2" X 2-1/2" X .186" wall X 8"
This piece with .186 wall thickness will slide over the main 4 foot tube nicely.

1 piece hot rolled 1/2" dia. round bar 14" long for the hook point.

13 - 3/8" nuts

9 - 3/8" X 1" bolts

4 - 3/8" X 2-1/2" bolts

4 - 3/8" lock washers

As far as the drilling goes I think it's best to refer to how it goes together by the lengths.

So the main 4 foot piece (down the middle) is drilled at 2" and 4" from each end. The 1 foot long 1-3/4" X 1-3/4" that slides into the 4 foot piece are welded to the center of the 5 foot cross piece. This one foot piece has 5 holes drilled in it at 2" increments for length adjustment.

The two 5 foot cross pieces have 3/8" nuts welded at 2" and then 8" from EACH END.

The 1-3/4 X 1-3/4" 18" long pieces slide into the 5 foot cross pieces have the 3" X 1-1/2" welded at the ends on top of the tubing not on the butt end.

With these notes and the pictures you should be able to put this together. Any questions just ask.
Cheers!
