All: I agree totally with Joe Savard about the quality of the
fasteners (bolts and washers) you got. From my past work experience, I
learned that the US is flooded with counterfeit fasteners. What makes them
counterfeit is that they are made in a foreign country out of scrap metal of
unknown quality and marked as grade 5 or 8 fasteners.
How do you get good fasteners? I
don't know for sure, but try to determine if your supplier will stand behind his
products, or buy from reputable supplier.

Assuming that you assembled everything correctly, the only thing that I
can think of is that you got some of the wrong grade bolts/washers. When
I was a Department of Defense inspector, we had a series of cases where
bolts were wrongly marked, and failed. They were too soft.
