I used sawhorses with 2x4's going through the tower legs. After going through the experience I would have used guy wires too. When you pour the concrete in the hole it pushes the legs sideways so you need to hold the tower from moving. Once the concrete is poured it is really hard to move the steel even though the concrete is still liquid.

So I don't reinvent the wheel, whats the best method of installing the first section with 4 foot legs into the 4 feet of concrete?

Best info I can find is legs need suspended 4 inches above bottom of concrete...

can anyone share how they've done it?
