Looks great. Can you tell us how much cement used to anchor the base? How deep? Did you reinforce it with rebar?
Thanks,

The base is 2 feet by 2 feet by 4 feet deep of cement. The angle iron frame is about 3.5 feet long. I used scrape metal to weld the angle iron together. That part isn't pretty but should be pretty strong. I didn't take a pic of it before I buried it. The scrape metal used was c channel, about 4'' wide. A rebar frame attached to the angle iron would have been nicer looking, I just didn't have any.
