Are you talking standard diagonal orientation or an elevated guy?
In any case, what does the manufacturer recommend (this is a trick
question)? Do you have a Rohn catalog for guy anchor specs (another trick
question)? How exactly are you going to attach the turnbuckles to the pipes?
Pipe IS NOT suitable for elevated guys in most cases.
