Pete Smith and ND8L are correct about the need for liability insurance for
out towers
which are known to lawyers as "attractive nuisances."
First, make sure you have at lease $1 million (the umbrella policy is best
as this is usually packaged with other insurance and is inexpensive) of
libility insurance.
Second, make sure you restrict access to the attractive nuisance:
1. Put some type of tower guard on the tower so they cannot be easily
climbed.
2. Put a fence around the base at least 4' tall.
3. If its a crank up ...remove the crank.
Don't lose your shirt over someone trying to climb your tower. Now if
someone will tell me how to protect guy anchor points!!!
