[TowerTalk] Self-supported tower designs v2

Fri Jul 15 01:31:58 PDT 2011

Hi guys,

Thanks for all comments and recomendations.

By the way, the thing is that in HK1H location,  I can get steel profiles, laminates, tubes or what I need at good prices. There are good welders in every street, there are no tower restrictions, I was a proffesional tower worker and I got different tower and security training, after weld the tower will be hot dipped there;

So, what I only need is a good design to follow.
Looking for something like this layout or diagram, with sizes and details;

But that one is cranckup and I would like to do it self-supported.

The tower height is aproximately, around 80 to 90 ft. It could be three or much better four legs/sides.
I know it will be in four sections (steel pieces are 6m long, so 6x4=24m, less overlaps 23m aproximately).
I only need to know the steel sizes.

Any one has this information or knows where to get it.

Thank you again
