[TowerTalk] Mounting 4 square verticals

[Larry Emery]

These Resin Support Block Clamps are ideal and can be purchased from 
DX Engineering in sizes to 2 1/2 inches.  Look in theAntenna Building 
Parts section.

That is the use of a sleeve of  PVC  of theproper diameter to fit the tubing used and then held in place withconduit clamps mounted on the 4X4 post.Larry K1UO----- Original Message -----From: <douglas.snowden at med.va.gov>To: <towertalk at contesting.com>Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2005 4:01 PMSubject: [TowerTalk] Mounting 4 square verticalsI am going to be making a trip to the irrigation tubing supplier in acoupleofdays. Plan on buying several pieces for a 40m 4 square.  I don't havetheambitionfor a 80m 4 square yet.  My question is:  If I put the pipe on 4X4pressuretreatedposts, do I need to worry about insulating them?  I would guess Iwould havethema foot off the ground.  Or if I elevated them 6 ft or so would thatmake adifference?I have put verticals up in the past, and was ignorant of any path tog
 roundthough thewood I used. I see on the "net" a few pictures of insulated 80verticals.Doug N4IJ_______________________________________________See: http://www.mscomputer.com  for "Self Supporting Towers","Wireless Weather Stations", and lot's more.
