Does anyone have suggestions or critical commentary on the idea of "guying"  
a 60 ft alum monopole (with 10 ft dia top hat) using horizontal lines attached 
 to two trees - one on each side of the monopole?
 
I have a problem with a standard 3 or 4 line configuration guy array  because 
of property issues.  Each tree is substantial - 4 ft diameter,  healthy 
specimes about 10 ft from the monopole.  Im thinking about several  horizontal 
lines - the highest around 45 ft, another at 20.  The base  section will be very 
well secured with an anchor fixture.  The monopole  will be 2", .25 wall alum 
tapered slightly.
