I am NOT a fan of house bracketing for several reasons:
- Low support height
- Tower vibration transfers to house as NOISE when wind blows
- Possible damage to the house from strong winds
As I have often preached, there is nothing STRONGER, SAFER,
or more COST EFFECTIVE than a properly GUYED Tower.
Short Towers can be guyed closer than the typical 80% radius.
Even 50% to 60% is acceptable for light loads.
