<HTML>Hi,,,Unless these poles are bigger than what I have seen here I wouldn't trust em,,,, Hopefully there will be something to get cables on...Several years ago I bought 100 ft of 1/4'' cable and a few shackles and tied down a 5200# S-G RR ... I crossed the cables X pattern on both ends so it couldn't move in any of 4 directions.....and used several strands at every corner...These boxes get tossed around,,not on purpose,,but does happen, Cable it as if the box may get stood on end somewhere,,,XXXXX,,,,The 1903 Stanley CX, a most original example , formerly in the Ford Museum ,before the auction,, is somewhere on the bottom of the English chanell ,,, Regardless of insurance,,,its a loss to us all.. XXXXX .Hiram Maxim's steam airplane engine is in a chest,,being returned to Smithsonian,, almost 93 years late so far,, off Greenland I think. The mate is on the 4th floor of KennsingtonMuseum. The plane was a 2 engine plane...Design is BEAUTIFUL Cheers Ben P/S If a car has antifreez,,they drain it[sell to friend] If it has water they will NOT drain it,,,why bother,,,I saw to the repairs of a 540 Mercedes that left Zirich w/ water,,,and the insurance claim draged on for 2 or more years,,,cb</HTML>
