While the current catalogs and policy is to use guy brackets, older
catalogs showed the guy termination looped around the leg and through a
diagonal brace.
I assume that you'll be using Preformed grips. In this scenario, just
hook the loop around the leg in the aforementioned fashion. The round leg
functions in the same way as the thimble would. That is to keep the
termination radius a smooth round junction.
