Subject: [TowerTalk] Adding insulators to bottom guys
Good morning.
I have a 100' R25 guyed with 1/4" EHS. The bottom set of guys are not
insulated. I would like to add insulators and would like some guidance. Can
I drop the bottom set without temp guys?
Any input will be greatly appreciated.

## rohn 25 is small tower. How many sets of guys do u have on there right now
??
I would not take a chance, not using the existing lowest guys..as temp guys.
Like stan sez...
use the existing lowest guys as temp guys..and install the new set..with
insulators..right below em.
## IF u had 4 sets of guys..at 25-50-75-100.... then maybe the lowest set
could be temp removed,
and insulators installed. I sure would not chance it with only 3 sets of guys
at say 33-66-99. The lowest
portion of the tower from either 0-50 ft..or 0-66 ft could easily flop
about..esp if the wind gets up.
## safest bet is to obtain another guy bracket..and install it right below the
lowest guy point.
