I have always felt safe up to 30 ft above the last set of guys
on Rohn 25. This assumes GOOD guys at all levels (3/16 EHS).
I have seen people go 40 ft above the guys, but it gets a little
"wobbly" for me! (Rohn recommends a maximum guy spacing
of 35 ft for moderate wind zones). Temporary guys using
non-stretch or low stretch rope is not a bad idea, especially
before the first set of guys are attached or if you don't like
riding
Pogo sticks.
