DAVE,
..."or do I need to angle them at 50 deg. as stated in the Rohn
spec's."
That should be taken as the answer... if it didn't make any difference, they
wouldn't specify it. Don't forget LXC's maxim - do what the manufacturer
says.
I once climbed a tower where the guy rods were put in sticking STRAIGHT UP.
I won't do THAT again - it wobbled like a noodle.

I would install at an angle, if not sooner or later they are going to want
to lean in the direction of the tower at the angle they were supposed to be
installed at in the first place. You will constantly be re-tightening your
guy wires. - Mike

I have just put up a Rohn 25G. My question is, and I haven't researched the
archives due to the interest of time before the snow blows. Can I use the
3/4" x 4' screw anchors with 6" blade to secure the tower with out using
cement. If I just screw them in all the way straight down, no angle, will
they hold, or do I need to angle them at 50 deg. as stated in the Rohn
spec's.
I would like some feedback on this way of doing it. These things are
suppose to hold trailers down. Are they reliable enough for the tower.
Wind load on the only beam is 6.9 sq. ft. with a 10' 2" mast.
Thanks, Dave
