What are some (good) alternatives to the Rohn anti-climb sections for the 45G? Obviously, they work...but: 1) They're really expensive...upwards of $650 for three sections. 2) They really don't appea
Build your own! I don't know if they're still in the book, but I got the design for mine from an ARRL Antenna Handbook about 20 years ago. What you do is go to your local machine shop and have them c
TT At my last QTH I had a 125' tower located at the edge of the woods . I built a set of Anti climb panels. I Went to the local duct AC Fab shop and had then cut me Three 8' X 15" Galvanized 18 ga pa
I just use 3-foot-wide hardware cloth, wired to the tower legs. Two passes get me 6 feet, and when I need to climb I just bring a stepladder down to the tower. Thanks to WA7LT (then W9LT) for that id
I wrapped my tower with chicken wire a couple of times and used steel wire to hold it there. Never had a problem with it in a city environment. To access the tower I also used a step ladder... Nat So

I have a set of the Rohn anti-climb plates that has never been used. They are 9 feet in length and are real heavy. If interested let me know what you are willing to pay. My qth is in northeaster Ohio

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
Isn't the purpose of the shields to prevent the (1) little kids and (2) the lazy from climbing the tower? The determined will find a way no matter what you put up. It's like your locked gate to your
