    On the plus side, aesthetically they're pretty  reasonable. This is a 
light-duty tower with a limited amount of capacity. If  you live in a windy area, 
I'd be pretty careful.

lot of talk about moving towers and needing to add guy  wires.
 
    Huh?!? Where does the manufacturer specify  guy-wires? More amateur 
engineering. :-(  My advice is to follow the LXC  Prime Directive to "DO what the 
manufacturer says." The reverse is also  true.
