Hi Robb,
Steve, K7LXC, would probably be the one to answer this question, he
sell's Trylon Towers.
But here goes, I've installed a few of them, When you say "base foot
weldments) are these
the 4' 60degree angle steel 'leg extensions' that you bolt to the
bottom of the tower
or are these the 4' long 3/4" rod tie rods?
Either way below is a link to the Trylon accessories PDF that will
give you information on
both items and how to use them.
link to page with both the install and accessories manual

Page 3 of 17 shows the 4' long - 60degree angle steel base or leg
extensions for the Trylon tower
Page 10 of 17 shows the 4' long 3/4" rod tie bolt installations for
the Trylon tower
hope this helps,

I have a Trylon 72' tower that I'm installing this summer, and I have
the "base foot weldments" (these are feet that bolt to the bottom
tower section and then bolt to rod that is sunk in the ground).
While these feet are usually used to anchor into rock, can they be
used with a concrete foundation? If they can, then I have some
questions about using them.
Would it work to encase the anchor bolts in the foundation when it is
poured, or do I need to drill holes into solid concrete and epoxy in
the bolts? If I put the rod in when the concrete is poured, do I
need to have anything attached to the rod at the bottom to add
resistance to being pulled out?
What kind of rod should I use - all-thread or something else? It
looks like they need to be 4-5' long, and I assume they should be
galvanized rod, yes?
Finally, where would I find such bolts? What kind of industry or
distributor might have them locally?
Thanks in advance and 73,
Rob, KA1ARB
