Getting to the first set of guys is always the hardest part of installing a 
pier pin installation.

I tip up the first 20 feet (with the aid of a tractor bucket), tighten up the 
temporary guys (at 20 feet) to hold the tower in place on the pier pin then 
stack the next two sections one at a time and which gets me to the first guy 
point at just above the third section where I can then attach the first 
permanent guy set which can be plumbed and tightened.

In lieu of having a tractor bucket you would have to tip the first section up 
onto the pin and then tie it off with temporary guys as you stack the second.

I am a newbie. I am putting up a 60' Rohn 25G with 2 sets of guys.

My question concerns the baseplate. The baseplate only uses a pier pin to hold 
it in place. It seems to me that this would allow the base plate to move. The 
1st set of guys wires go at 28'
What is the safest method for installing the 10' sections prior to having the 
1st set of guys in place? I am not using a crane. I am using a gin pole. I want 
to make sure that it does not fall over while I am the process of getting to 
the height of where the 1st guys go.
