Of course, the correct answer is to check with your PE (if a PE's drawings are
required by your permitting agency). If a PE's drawings aren't required, check
with the tower manufacturer (get it in writing). Ultimately, you want minimal
grief from any permitting problems, and you want your insurance company to
cover any potential loss.
Right. This is first an ENGINEERING question, and should be answered by
structural calculations by someone qualified to do so. Rohn's
recommendations are for a generic install with no limits on what can be
done, and for what they are sure will cover their behind legally. There
are always other safe ways to do things, but just staring at it and
saying "I did such and such and it didn't come down" is NOT a good
answer. At least not for MY tower, or for one that a friend would climb..
