A lot of the tower manufacturers and suppliers give a great deal of
information in their manuals. You can probably contact them for some
pointers and/or literature. The first time you do it, it may appear to
be a fairly formidable task unless you have previous experience in the
construction industry. You may want to get the advice of someone who
has done similar installations in the past.
