Click on "On Line Catalog" and then GT series and then 25G

They have parts lists, guying details and foundation details there.

Forget bagged cement... you need too much and you want a continuous
pour.  You can figure out how much you need from Rohn's site and
something like this:

But I think you need 50 50lb. bags and you won't have a single solid
continuous base unless you have a big cement mixer available to you.
