Steve suggested that I ask the group about this. I am re-installing a 50
foot 25G tower (replacing some 20G sections). The top section will be
"straight" instead of "pointy". I was wondering if the openings at the top
should be "capped" to keep rain out.
Steve said moisture accumulation shouldn't be much of a problem if I put
gravel under the base. The base went in over 10 years ago, and I THINK I
did that properly. He said condensation was more of a problem than rain.
That makes sense, so maybe the tops should be open instead of sealed?
What do you think - seal or not seal, and if so, how? (I was thinking
about using rubber stoppers from the hardware store).
73,
Dennis
