Oh this background info will be such a big help and so much easier to
help explain to your insurance agent when this calamity happens.
Sorta like all the ad's we see for State Farm Insurance on TV in the
evenings.. Be sure to get you're wife to video this and then after the
excitement dies down we will be able to watch it on You Tube as often as
it takes ..
Best of luck ! mac/mc w5mc

If I understand what you are saying, roughly (40x4)+(4x50) = 360 lbs
That is actually less than I anticipated.
Your concern about the wall, is however a shared one. Thinking an internal guy
running along a roof truss might be in order.

The tower will have its mass concentrated at the 20' level, and the 50 lbs 'at
the top' will have its mass concentrated at the 40'+ level.
if the 'hinge' is at ground level and your winch is at the 10' level, the total
force of those two loads will be:
2x the tower load PLUS
4x the 'top' load.
that's quite a bit for the position of the winch .. AND .. if the winch is
connected to the garage, it just might pull the garage wall down.

Quoting Dave Tipton <dave@w5dmt.com>:
I have a 40 foot Rohn 25, with a tilt base section. It will be sitting next
to a detached framed (not block) garage with siding.
I can attach a winch to an extra guy bracket I have at the ten foot level.
There will be roughly 50 lbs at the top of the tower. (Rotator, Hex Beam, GP3)
How much is the maximum force required to raise this from a cable at the 10
foot level?
Thanks,
Dave, W5DMT
