Try your local power utility salvage. Hardware like that can be had
for metal scrap prices.

Does anyone have a good online source for threaded rod?

Specifically, I'm looking for 3 pieces of 1 inch threaded rod, roughly 3' in
length.

Local supply sources don't stock anything that large, plus I would question
the quality of the rod they sell in terms of the softness of the steel. I
want to make sure I get the best quality I can buy up front.

I got mine from "Hilti" --- they often have a 'booth' at Home Depot

are the same bolts that are used in the base of street lights, traffic
signals, etc.

Hmmm.... doesn't ring a bell at the local home depot stores around here,
unless they're a recent addition... Granted, for the past year or so I've
been going to Lowes rather than the 'pot.


You should be asking for "Readi-Rod". Just about ANY Industrial Supply
House will stock it, in various sizes and threads. Graingers, McMater
Karr, ect.....

But, I'll wade through some of those 1,690,000 (now 1,940,000) hits and
see what I find.

Try freshmeat.net

Enter "threaded rod" in the "Find Products" search box, hit "Go" and
stand back.
