That all looks amazing Bart and thank you for the amazing process in images (well documented work is hard to find, I like photographing my projects as I go in case I can help anyone else) and while I have plenty of new square hollow section steel laying around I could use I was worried if it rusts and collapsed in the concrete everything just crumbles. Then again I'm days away from turning 65 I don't know how long I imagined I'd be using this stuff.
Your pier looks very similar to mine with the exception mine has a round 1/2" steel base plate but every bit as heavy and solid.
James I can weld the stuff it usually has a high carbon content and not pretty welds but buried in cement it doesn't matter and not being structural, strength isn't an issue. I'm going to pick up the thickest wire weld mesh I can get from the local landscaping supplies and knock something up if this rain ever disappears, we've had maybe not a lot of rain but some huge storms and constant drizzle making it hard to get out and do what I want at the moment.
