Ok...Here is another dumb questions I've always wondered about!
How does cold temperatures affect guy wires? Do they shrink in cold and
expand in hot?
Now... I use to have 1/4 inch guys on the tower several years ago that dod
just that. Well, this time when I put up the tower I purchase new guy wire
(the other stuff was hard to work with and I didn't need all that guys wire
for a 60 foot tower...besides, I hade saddle and clamps...so I moved on to
grips). I've been checking them now that the temp has been at 5 to 10
degrees for the past week and they have not tighted like the old guys.
So, all you tower jocks out there...can you tell this "hon-yock" what gives?
