Absolutely guy the roof tower but be aware that the stress on your roof will
be incredible and the local building officials may not OK the project due to
stress. I know of a similar tower put up across the river in St Paul,
Minnesota. The local building permit officials
insisted on an engineers design approval before they would OK the project
and
approve a building permit. It required a lot of reinforcement inside the
roof.
And it wasn't cheap.
In this case it was a tripod but not really a different problem.
