- Hi Dick, I really enjoy not having to climb my Universal towers. I made all 3 of mine fold-over at the bottom via a hand winch, pullies and some parallel (stacked) 6x6 posts in cement. One at 80', on

- Dick: I went with a self-supporting Trylon myself six years ago. I had almost no choice but to go with a non-guyed tower; my back yard is very small and the guys would have been draped over the house

- I'm not sure that you need 3 sets of guys with an 80' Rohn 45g tower. I think two sets is enough and if you wanted more strength you could upgrade to Rohn 55g. I have owned several Universal towers f
