- Hank, I am not quite following your calculation of 50,000 lb-ft of moment. Perhaps you can explain. What I come up with is .00256 x 110 MPH squared x 1.2 (round members) x 9.7 SF x (60'-15') (above b

- The bracket is over designed as much as I could. Where it attaches to the house it is 5' long and it has three bolts that go through vertical 2x4. I have this backed up with a horizontal 2x4. All of

- What about all these self supporting cell towers going up all over the place. Are they rated for 110 MPH? They have some pretty good size antenna arrays at the top. Assuming 30sf at 200ft and 110 MP

- It has been suggested that I ignore the bracket as it could fail and design it as self supporting. So I ran the numbers. Here is the conclusion I can make regarding Self Supporting Rohn 45g tower in
