Legs snapped like glass about 4 foot up from the  base.
The ONLY rule my wife has concerning towers is NOT TO INSTALL UNGUYED  
ALUMINUM TOWERS.


Hi, Ron --
 
    Another reason to not like them - hi. 
 
    Umm, what does the manufacturer say about guying  their towers? Sounds 
like a violation of the LXC Prime Directive to "DO what the  manufacturer says". 
The corollary is to "NOT DO what they don't tell you".
