Tighten it the same way you would if you were stacking it. From the bottom up.
It will be hard to straighten it if you tighten the top guys and then have to
straighten out a bend in it at the lower guys.
I have always used pier pins and they require the guys to get it plumb and hold
it up as you stack it.

I am going to use a crane to lift a 60' Rohn 25 tower. I am using 2 sets
of guy wires. 1 set at 28' and the other at 55' per Rohn.
The guy wires will be attached to the tower when lifted. My question is
this: which set should? be tightened 1st? Top set or bottom set? Or does
it matter?
