I'm not an attorney, nor do I play one on TV, but I have a hunch that if you install a pre engineered tower (such as the Rohn 25) and you modify the supporting structure (drilling holes anywhere) th
OK, I read them again, and I got this: "The base should be a standard base plate but with one hole at each corner and secured to the concrete with 3/4" J bolts." Is there more than one standard base
I'm concerned about folks getting misinformation, inaccurate information and dangerous installation tips. Common sense is wonderful when appropriate, but dangerous when incorrect. Sorry, I just don'
I've seen this marketed before, however, I spent two weekends cleaning a commercial tower of those 'radiators' and the noise went way down on the site. Those short pieces of solid wire, not grounded

Unless you are seriously going to be pulling this in with a tugger or something, several of the products will work fine. We use both J and F on long fiber and copper pulls. Choice sometimes depends o
Sounds fun, but it won't work too well. First, KY is a great water based lubricant, however it dries up very quickly if not kept watered. It is great for its intended use, basically a short duration
Uh...perhaps you can provide the excavator a drawing of what you need. A 5 cubic foot hole can be one foot square and five feet deep...or one foot deep and 5 feet long...or whatever shape you want. B
I suspect we're talking about 'hardware cloth', available in various sizes of squares, something along the lines of 1/4" or 1/2" would prevent someone from clawing their way up. It is readily availab
You might want to review the 25G engineering documents, it appears the tower can be installed unguyed if anchored to the building with the proper bracket, to a limited height. While it isn't a typic
Actually it is both. I've installed and serviced both. If you have a short run of not too large heliax such as 7/8 inch, pressurizing the feedline (and often the antenna depending on the design) with

Anyone used the Rohn anti climb sheets on 55 or 45? I've got them and a bunch of 55 tower, all I can tell from the sheets is that you stand them up around the tower and sheet metal screw them to each

restrict The engineer's responsibility to the customer is to provide a safe, functional system. It is his responsibility to make sure that the tower, grounding, bonding, electronics, etc. is all ins
Sure, and when they open I will. I figured in the mean time I would pose the simple question to a group of folks very interested in towers. Simply, has anyone installed them, and if so, how did you
Thanks Pete, I believe I said those were interesting suggestions, but not an answer to my question. Imagine you posting a question like this: "I have a Rohn 'Erection Fixture' (Gin Pole) that I just
I'm going to have to argue just a bit. I suspect that whomever did the engineering on the tower base drew a square hole for the foundation. If that is the case, you have an engineered solution and i
