I was wondering if anybody has "specs" on rebar. I am going to use some j-bolts made out of 1 inch rebar to anchor a 60' self supporting tower. Is one per leg enough, or do I need 2? Whats the tensil

Jeff, I recently dismantled a 40' Heights aluminum tower that had been up for 30 years. I worked my way down with a bottle jack and a few 4X4 and 2X10 blocks of wood. If you can use the wood cleverly
I acquired a 5 section (40') tower from an SK estate. A TH6 came my way thru another source. The lower section of the tower is the 26" size. I'd like to add 2 more 26"s at the bottem, to get 56' of t
