Hi Rick,
Thanks for your ideas...
What about 90 degrees Galvanized Angle Iron for a 4 legs tower???
I think i can get some HD tubing from High Pressure boilers but not
galvanized...

Hi Group !!!,
I would like build a 70 ft Self Supporting tower...Unfortunately towers
are not available here, so, i need build it by my self.
The simplest thing for you to do is to find out what
kind of structural tubing is available in CO-land
and then engineer a tubular tower with what you
can get. MUCH simpler than a lattice tower.
Possibilities might be steel well casing or
drilling tubing. Not, of course, water pipe.
There have been various articles about homebrew
tube towers, but you can't copy what they did.
You have to adapt to whatever tubing you can get.
Good luck on your hunt!
