[TowerTalk] Temporary Guy Anchors

[Gary Bonnor]

Bob,

Try your local motor vehicle wrecking yard for a quantity of rear 
wheel drive car axles.

Over here in VK I have seen them used for the guys on travelling circus tents.

They are usually 2 to 3 feet long and about an inch and a half 
diameter and made from heat treated alloy steel. Definitely won't 
bend in a hurry !!!
