    Hi Brian,
I couldn't tell you whether it could or not, even with complete =
drawings, but I would like to mention that conduit, unlike other types =
of pipe, is manufactured specifically so that it WILL bend. There are =
other types of pipe that would be a better choice.

    I am considering building a tower.  I am planning on using the =
following: =20
    1-5/8" toprail for the legs.
    3/4" conduit for the bracing.
    the tower will be a "modular" design - able to be stack each section =
together.  My question is, will this tower support an HF beam with a =
11.6sqft. windload??

    Please e-mail any comments or suggestions to phoenix@nwi.net
    Thank you
