[TowerTalk] Guying 3 inch Irrigation Pipe

[David Gilbert]

3 inch ABS fits very nicely over 3 inch irrigation tubing, and Home 
Depot sells black "plastic" toilet flanges that will fit over the 3 inch 
ABS.  The toilet flanges are super tough and already have four holes in 
them for fastening to a floor.  Glue the toilet flange to a few inches 
of the 3 inch ABS and then slide the assembly over the irrigation 
tubing.  Drill three or four holes through both the ABS and the 
irrigation tubing for self tapping screws to secure the sleeve in place.

In my opinion, one set of guys about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way up each 
vertical should be sufficient for everything short of a hurricane or 
tornado.
