Hey Y'all,
A recent query as to using a single strand of 'copperweld'
as upper guys brought lots of warnings and a couple of good
suggestions. One of which was to use the aluminum clad
EHS guy wire.
I should have looked, then asked.
Copperweld is available in EHS.
One stranded version is marketed specifically as guy wire.

Specifications for single strand are here.

What if any compromises are made in using a single wire guy
as opposed to strand? I know single wire (rod) guys (stays) are
used on sailboats.
