Hi Wilson,

As K8RI points out, overturning moment isn't a consideration for a guyed tower.

It's a flat roof with 2x12 joists so ought to be able to take quite a bit of downward force. Still "ought to" doesn't cut it when dealing with towers. This is one of the (many) aspects the PE will have to consider.

What kind of roof is going to take the resultant downforce?
The bending load goes out the guys.
