Sorry about the last post which basically said nothing.
Questions to the tower experts:
I have a concrete roof that my tower will be mounted on. I was
hoping to have retaining walls to drill horizontally through to
mount my guy anchors, however they don't exist.
What I'm trying to deterimine is if I should drill a hole and epoxy
a very large eyebolt (the forged type) into the roof or if I should
manufacture a steel plate that would be attached to the roof with a
couple of bolts epoxied in place. I would weld some sort of attachement
to the plate for the equalizing plate.
Boy do I have a lot to do before the contest season starts.
