Re: [TowerTalk] Anti-climb measures

Dave, Alan, et. al:

Chicken wire up to about 8 feet is what I've used on the bottom of my 
TriEx WT51 crank up to keep hands, toes, feet, fingers, etc. out of the 
works just in case.  So far its worked as some of the edges on the 
chicken wire have dissuaded the couple youngsters, including my 4 year 
old grandson from even coming close to it.
