No - you are exactly correct!
I did not follow the Rohn instructions and used the CB2 foundation. My pier
pin base plate is offset as you say, but with the larger 36" x 36" CB2
foundation, the base plate does not overhang. My tower is only 70' high, but
with a 90' 45G, I sure would phone Rohn and get confirmation that their
Buyers Guide is correct, just for the peace of mind!

Subject: [TowerTalk] Rohn 45 tower and base
I am trying to get a 90ft 45G tower installed before winter sets in and the
required base in the mfg guide is a CB1, 30" round or square (more
concrete). Found out the hard way that the steel base plate hangs off the
30"circular pier on two sides. Digging into an older Rohn catalog, I found
in the fine print that I require a 36" circular pier! Aside from this all
the drawings I've found specs the pier pin to be "centered" whether or not
you use a round or square form.
The 20"X24" concrete base plate pier pin hole is offset and the plate (and
tower) will not be centered over the c/l of the foundation. Am I missing
something here?
Thanks, Mike K4EAR
