I have sand for soil here in Florida. My plans for guy wire anchors are
the Rohn standard dead men buried in a standard way. However, what about
my sand (not sandY, just sand) for holding the concrete dead men in the
ground? Any advice?
I went down eight feet for the crank up base and had real sand (child's
sand box grade without the purification) ALL the way down. HyGain said
"don't worry, the sand will make a good holder for your 70ft crank-up
base; install by the book and don't worry." The tower is still straight.
Still, this is just sand. Should I worry about the anchor concrete clumps
and the sand? Did I mention sand? de K4VUD
