The 45g series is not a self supporting tower. Rohn does make self
supporting towers, as seen here:
http://www.rohnnet.com/self-supporting-towers . But the 45g is designed
to be guyed, and it is usually not such a good idea to install them
otherwise.

Give us some information on your proposed setup. How high of a tower are
you looking to build? How is the soil there?

any information on the 45G series self supporting tower. Im looking to
put a light hy-gain 203BA 32 pound antenna with 5.3 sq feet of wind
load. Would this be a sturdy installation? I would use a bracket but
have no attic space and do not have room for guys so this would fit the
bill unless it's a problem. Any thoughts would be apreciated.
