My understanding was they rolled it on regular large rollers, "foot out" as
they put it.  the only ones they had trouble with, and had to ship out to
Calgary, were the smaller ones.  1 inch angle iron, x 1/4 thick, 16 inches
around..two of those cost me as much as 5 of the larger ones..
they all turned out with no kinks, and reasonably straight.
