The guy "Posts" will be installed in a similar fashion to the tower, drill a 4
foot deep hole, put the steel post (Probably somehwere on the order of a 3 inch
reinforced thick wall steel 12 feet long) and then using an eye bolt through
the thing and fill the post with concrete to prevent water from truly
saturating it. (And provide additional rigidity) Let's just say you wouldn't
want to hit this with your car.

2) I need to use Elevated Guys. (I have small children and can't have
anything basically at head/neck level. I'm planning to put the tops of my guy

a house bracket at 8 feet. This is more for the initial installation of the
tower, however, it's not bad extra insurance

Anytime you change the original specs of the manufacturer, you are in
essence, becoming your own PE. Without knowing how you plan to elevate the
anchor
points, what material you plan to use in doing so, how much concrete you plan
on putting in the holes, not even a PE could give you a good answer. Most
guys on the reflector are not PEs so any answer they give you would only be an
educated guess.
The rating on the 60 ft Rohn 25 with a 90 MPH rating is 10.2 sq ft.
