AN Wireless towers don't have round cross-section legs, but rather use flat

solutions that I've seen use fittings that clamp onto a round tower leg.

For those of you you have installed AN Wireless (or similar towers), how
have you attached the grounding strap or wire to the tower legs at the base?


I haven't done it on those towers, but I have used clamp on grounding lugs that grab onto structural steel. It looks kind of like a couple parallel prongs with a bolt through one side to do the clamping.

Very similar to the lugs you use to clamp to a bus bar.
