Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Was Guyed vs. free-standing, now aluminum towers
I am just wondering - If manufacturer (UT in this case) aware that aluminum
legs suffer form eggholes sooner or later, why they do not make them with
some sort of (stainless)steel ends?
They are nothing special, I think, you just need some inserts (or outer
pipes) cross bolted to aluminum leg.
Right?
PS - I never seen UT aluminum tower, just dreaming about one :)
