- Can anyone tell me the best way (or different techniques) for ensuring that a tower is truely verticle. I have been putting a builders level up against the three legs of the tower starting at the bas

- Check your hardware stores for a "corner level." It has bubble levels on three axes instead of the one in a torpedo level. You can ty-wrap it to a leg and keep a continual check on level as you stack

- Bruce, Borrow or rent a transit, they do a great job in helping to level a tower. Set up the transit up in two locations, 90 degrees apart with respect to the tower base and at least as far away from

- Because of the height, bubble levels really aren't much good. If you can't "shoot it" with a transit, a plumb bob is the second best. Even 6' levels have a great error when you're looking at 100 + fe

- The technique I like to use is to hang two weights by braided string or small diameter stranded wire from supports at 90 degrees apart, one perpendicular to a guy wire. Then I sit on the ground with

- Boy you guys get fancy! I level the bottom section with a little magnetic level, then simply look straight up along each tower face; it's easy to see even the slightest bows. -- Steve Maki K8LX steve

- Let's put things in perspective. For the more common 50' to 70' tower, a bubble level will suffice. With a bit of experience and persistence, such a tower can be leveled, guys equalized adequately an
