[TowerTalk] Anti-climb measures

[Jerry Keller]

Some pieces of 1/4" plywood cut to fit each side of the tower from ground to at least 6 foot up, and lashed on to the legs with heavy duty nylon wire-ties, works nicely. Cutting and replacing the wire-ties each time you climb is pretty low-cost.

  What, if any, measures are people taking to prevent the neighborhood 
  kids climbing their towers, with possible resulting falls, injuries (or 
  worse), and lawsuits? AN Wireless lists an anti-climb accessory for 
  $450, but I can't see why one needs anything that expensive.

  This area has plenty of kids and few fences (except around pools), so I 
  do need to take some precautions.
