- OK, here's a toss up that should generate some real discussion: Rohn 45 and Rohn 55 have essentially the same face width and the same cross bracing. The Rohn 55 has slightly thicker wall side rails -

- Thicker steel usually means stronger so therefore the difference in specs. If you want to see if 45 will do a better job if guyed heavier then you need to get a structural engineer involved. Always f

- Joe: Rohn 55g legs are 0.5203 sq in and 45g legs are 0.3043 sq in each. That is 71% larger, this is significant. Give the leg clear spacing (between the horizontals) and 50 ksi yield steel the allowa

- Don't forget there are ROHN 45s and there are ROHN 45s, then there are 55s and there are 55s. IE, not all 45s or 55s are created equal. Both are, or at least were available in hollow and solid leg fo

- 3 guages of wall thickness (11 vs. 14), 1.5" diameter vs. 1.25" diameter and 95# per section vs 70# per section... The additional ultimate strength is fine if one is looking for maximum load at maxim
