I am very sure this has been done several if not many times...but...  How much cement do I really need to install my 40 foot Rohn 25 with a two element Cubex quad and make it freestanding. I have a 3

Tom The Rohn 25 is not designed to be a freestanding tower, especially at 40 feet with a 2 el quad on top. Normal base for a GUYED Rohn 25 tower is 2.8 by 3 by 3 ft. I would not want to climb that 40

The Rohn recommended foundation is 4'x4'x4' (3.5' below ground) for 25G freestanding towers. However, according to the 2004 Rohn catalog, 40' of freestanding 25G is only rated for 1.5 sq. ft. of ante

The ROHN catalog is on-line ( http://www.rohnnet.com/25g-series )and contains all the information you need, which is going to take a bit more than you've planned. According to my own catalog the 25 i

Tom, My opinion is to fill the hole with concrete and put one set of guy wires on the tower. Take the guy wires off to lower the quad if needed on a calm day. Stan, K5GO I am very sure this has been

Once you have the hole dug, you really don't have much choice Tom.... because you want the concrete to come about ground level. Usually, you want the concrete 4" or so above surrounding grade. I typi

You should fill the hole with concrete, what else would you put in it? One yard is not a lot, but I'm not sure what the minimum concrete delivery is in your area. Another other option is to buy 40+ b

If you find a contractor (preferably a small one) in your area that does concrete work, you might be able to convince him to add a yard or two to one of his orders and then just dump it in the hole f

When I poured my Rohn 25 tower base in Rockford, there was a concrete guy who specialised in small quantities of concrete. One or two yards were within his norm and he would stay at the site for 30 m

In my area, (West Kentucky) there is a concrete company that has a One Yard Trailer. You buy the concrete in a covered dump trailer, tow it to your site and dump your concrete. Rinse it out and retur

Tom, You can usually rent a ready mix trailer that comes with 1 - 1/2 yards of concrete. Check your local yellow pages for one close to you. All you need is a heavy duty pickup to haul the trailer. I

If you go the bag mix route -- rent a small mixer from your nearest home improvement store. These typically hold two bags of mix (along with 7/8 gallon of water per bag). You can mix two bags in a co

It cost me $60 for the delivery of ready mixed concrete and the truck drove right up to the hole and poured it in. There is no way I am going to rent a portable mixer for $50. Ever lift ONE bag of mi
