I'm sure that there are many who have done this, but, the manufacturers don't supply stainless for the tower leg joints. As inexpensive as a bolt kit for Rohn 25 is, I can replace them in 20 - 25 yea

Just wanted to clear up what is in a standard tower leg bolt kit from Rohn. Six bolts and six nuts. That is all. No washers and no PAL nuts. At least this is the case for 20G, 25G, 45G, and 55G. I ca

Have you ever tried to disassemble a tower with deformed legs from overtightening? A ROYAL PAIN ! The ONLY purpose I can see for the nuts is to keep the bolts from falling out. The bolts hold the leg

So... Is it the general opinion that these towers would be better off with a pins and cotter pins. That would eliminate all the over/under tightening issues and would be secure as far as falling out.
