I need to refine that question.  I am NOT looking for a place to BUY hardware.

What I need is formulas for calculationg the wind resistance of a
round wooden pole and the resistance of an anchor to being pulled out
of SAND.  How much resistance does a 144 sq in plate or a 6" round
plate........give to being pulled through the sand and how deep does
it have to be burried to get max friction...etc....etc...AND possible
home designed anchors..in sand??? .... in concrete??...or in whatever/
