I temporarily guyed mine every section as I went up. It wasn't necessary from a structural standpoint since you can safely go at least three sections above a guy point, but it held the tower sections

Alternatively, you could put the top guys at 95'. According to the Rohn catalog, that would raise the specs on the tower from 90 MPH to 110 MPH. It would also put your top guys only 5 feet below the

Well, I will always remember being at the 60-foot level on my Rohn 25 (first guy set at 31 feet) and trying to wrestle the next section ito place while the tower swayed slowly back and forth. I weigh

Also depends on the kind of rope you're using. A non-stretchy rope helps a lot. A quick glance over a rope catalog or even something like the McMaster-Carr catalog's explanatory sections will tell yo

If you use Phillystran, it may be wise to have a EHS guy already made up that could replace your longest Phillystran guy (or any of the shorter ones) if they get damaged by abrasion or falling debris

I agree with Jim but would add a bit. Depending on the size of the tower and length of the temporary guy my requirements vary. Synthetic and Hemp rope both have their good and bad sides. Both age, bu

Nylon 3 strand will elongate about 50% before breakage. That property is great for anchoring or towing but awful for guying or lifting. The energy that can be stored in a piece of nylon rope is impre

To point out the obvious: Sometimes temporary guys are attached to temporary anchors and they may be a lot closer to the tower than the recommended 80% figure for permanent guys. This reduces the guy
