Jim are you placing the tower with one leg next to the house and the
other two equal distance from the house? If this is so go to a machine
shop and have them made you a bracket that will reach past the 1st leg
to the other two legs. If the legs are not equal distance just get the
measure and have it made to fit. You can then paint or have hot dipped
before installation.
