Howdy all,
I am shortly going to be putting up my first real tower - 5 sections of Rohn
25.
I plan on guying the tower with two sets of guys per Rohn specs. My
question is about anchoring them. I have purchased Rohn GA5604 screw
anchors. The specs on these say that they have 2500 pounds worth of holding
power. I was actually surprised when I received them at how small the screw
portion was.
My question is this: Are these sufficient for my tower installation or do I
need to think about digging a hole and putting these anchors in concrete? I
was originally planning on doing this but now I am wondering if I need to go
through all that extra work.
Thanks es 73,
Jon
