Besides the pieces would be lapped such that the steel itself bears most of the weight, the bolts are just to keep it from falling apart. I might try the bolt together option as I don't have a welder. I would probably trust bolts more than my welds anyway, LOL.

UL turned to self certification/testing for most categories so there are lots of loop holes now.
