[TowerTalk] guy lines? & photos

Paul-

Looks like a fairly spindly pole. I would be concerned that adding guys would increase the compressive load in the pole, which might cause it to bend out of column and fail.  I would think that two sets would be better than one.Do you have any specs for the pole which might list a max downward load? You need to make sure the load added by the guys does not exceed that. Of course, the wind loading added by the guys might be significant as well. The correct answer is to get some engineering done.
