- Has anyone used trees as guy anchors for a 50' Rohn 25 tower? If so what was your method of attachment? Thanks Tom W1ALZ _______________________________________________ ______________________________

- It is very discouraged to anchor any tower to a tree. No manufacture or city code would approve of that method. I have witnessed catastrophic tower failures of trees uprooting and / or leaning. Each

- My 120 ft Rohn 25 is surrounded by redwoods that 125-175 ft tall. The tower is guyed at 30 ft, 60 ft, 90 ft, and 120 ft with carefully tension 3/16" EHS (except that the top guys are Phillystran for

- I have used trees for support but not precisely for 50 ft Rohn 25 towers. Avoid "girdling" the tree. Do not wrap cable or other ligature tightly around the tree. use material like an old bike tire or

- My observations: Even large trees are more prone to wind movement and damage than towers. Large Redwoods excepted. Mature trees like Oak and Ash appear to do well. Large, mature Oak normally have a l

- I responded to this thread B-4 The tree can be used but IMO will not fly with a building permit application. The tree anchor with the belly band ( around the tree with a loop of EHS) is a bad idea. t

- The material a tree generates to cover a wound such as a limb pruned flush with the trunk is called a callus. Ditto for the material that would grow over a lag bolt. From online encyclopedia ==> In b

- Using a tree for a guy point is a really bad idea. Example: We used to have a 70' Douglass fur in our front yard. During and ice storm it dropped a branch which took out the rain gutters on the front

- I've seen trees used for as guy anchors but it gives me concern. However, they seem to work well for masts that hold up wire antennas or for something temporary for a small antenna. Last spring I had

- We did the same with a 50 foot and later 100 foot repeater tower, except our trees were a little smaller and anchors just above ground level. I never like it but it was our only option at the time. H

- Note: Depending on the size of the Ash tree, some people will pay good money for the wood. I think our neighbor got several hundred dollars for his very large tree. We had several medium Ash that wer
