After losing a 70 ft rohn 25g tower due to hurricane soaked ground
followed
by a heavy winds, (the screw anchor pulled out due to the extemely wet
soil)
I used longer screw anchors that had an old car wheel slid over them,
with the
shaft pulling against undisturbed soil and covered with 1/3 yard of
cement....
No trouble since....(knock on wood)
