[TowerTalk] Rebar Response

[Phil Snyder]

Wow lots of responses and idea's. I hadn't planned on using the cage for 
grounding so that isn't a concern at the moment, although I will look 
into that aspect. Having things inspected here is also a non issue.

I guess I was just wondering about the mechanical strength of the cage 
if welded instead of tying. I have never worked with rebar before and 
didn't know how hard it was to bend and work with. I have the drawings 
from UST regarding the construction of the cage and guess I should just 
follow their directions. I suppose if they were ok with welding the cage 
it would be listed as an option on the drawings.

Thanks for the help
