Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Unguyed, with house bracket?..warning
I'm not sure if it's been mentioned or not in this thread, since I have not
read them all, but one caveat bears mentioning....
DO NOT attach any bracketing to the fascia. Most fascia is not supposed to
bear much lateral force. Therefore, if you bracket your tower to most
fascia, it may look good and strong, but unless you hooked into some
healthy
framing wood, beware. Back in FL, I saw and heard of lots of these
installations
hit the ground when a good burst of wind them.
