I have a GPRBX 60-65, if I remember correctly, and attempted to measure the
wall thickness of the ground post. It appears to be 5/16". The post is on
the ground at a hard to reach location, and the post has a disk welded to
the inside of the tube. When I removed it years ago, I noticed there was
considerable rust just below ground level. I have heard people have had
trouble with rusting at the hinge, too.
I dug mine out; a big job.
If anyone is interested, I have the stress analysis for this tower. I
received a notice from Los Angeles County, requesting a stress analysis, so
got one from EZ-Way.
