[TowerTalk] Glen Martin Roof Tower...

[Dennis Watkins]

I have had the 8-9 foot tower up on the roof for
about 10 years.  No sign of falling apart or
corrosion.  I live next to salt water and wouldn't
hesitate to get another Glen Martin product..
My tower is self supporting.  The ability of the
roof to withstand the stress is the issue more than
the tower...
