I have an unknown brand of crank up tower that I need to put up. The tower can
go up as high as approx 72 feet if all 4 sections are used. I plan to only use
the bottom 3 sections as did the guy I got it from. The guy I got it from had
it guyed at the 20 foot and 38 foot levels (at the top of the bottom and middle
20 foot sections). For a tower of this height how far from the base do I
install my ground anchors?? Would I put them at an average of the distance
between the two sets of guy lines (approx 29-30 feet) or at the distance of the
upper guy line (38 feet). When he had the tower fully retracted he just let
the upper guy lines go slack. The alternative to this question is should I put
in a set of ground anchors for each set of guys??
