All of the tower that I have seen, mostly commercial, had a small hole at
the bottom of the section before it entered the concrete to allow weeping of
water out. They also had exposed section legs capped to minimize water
entry. I would refer you to the old saying if you want to keep water out of
something, leave a small hole at the bottom.

Would it be a good idea to apply Vaseline to aluminum tower joints
(Heights) after joining the sections together and using NoAlox? I took
down a tower and the legs were split from freezing 6' above the base!!!
