Do you mean something in addition to the guys? What most towers use is
something at the guy attachment point. Or do you mean something that will
strengthen the tower? The guy attachment points is where the tower torque is
transferred to the guy wires.
The best method is a 'star bracket' or what Rohn calls a torque arm
stabilizer. In this arrangement there are two guy wires per attachment point
instead of one. It's used for dish installations where you can't have the dish
moving in the wind. Try the Rohn web site - http://www.rohnnet.com/. There may
be a picture of one (TA25/45/55).
