I'm considering buying a used Universal Aluminum Tower. I'm not familiar
with how aluminum weathers and would like to know what a typical useful life
might be. This tower is located in Chicago. Is there anything I should be
looking for during an inspection? Can this tower be safely climbed to
dismantle? Thanks for your assistance.
