The tower going up at my place has one face edge on 45 degrees and another 285 degrees. Lacking lower level rotator, lower C31 (58 feet) bolted to side toward 285 for west coast for SS weekends, to side toward 45 and EU for rest of year. (QTH is North Carolina)

Picking tower faces for side bolting is useful if this has not already been mandated by other design considerations like where guy anchors are possible, etc.
