scotty, nail a 2x4 across the top of the form and tie wire your cage to it. start your concrete pour in center of the rebar cage, slowly fill the form from  the center first. the  concrete in the center will stabilize the cage.  Jam an 8 ft 2x4 at an angle thru the cage using it as a lever to hold the cage and move it as needed.Don,t worry about rusted rebar concrete is pourous ask anyone with a leaky basement!  To judge how long your rebar will last just leave a piece beside your tower pad.
