I don't think having four guys has anything to do with wire size. Yes, at some angles wire load is lower with four BUT max load occurs when the wind is aligned with one wire. WL _____________________

Unless you have a very narrow lot or a fold over tower than needs to be guyed while lowering, I do not know why you would want four guy wires? With three anchors, a tower can be placed 1/2 of the anc
