Steve,

     Please take look at the Rohn catalog spec for the HDBX-48 (BX towers in
general).  I believe Rohn says mesh is okay.  I'm trying to follow the prime
directive.

Howdy, TowerTalkians --
 
    Regarding using mesh for a rebar cage, it  has several problems. First, 
it's not in any tower base spec I've ever  seen. Second, how would you 
stiffen it up to have it stand up? Last, it's WAY  too small. Most rebar is
1/2" 
(#4) or bigger. Mesh is just mesh.
 
    So quite meshing around and use the real stuff. 
 
Cheers,
Steve      K7LXC
