Charlie has the right idea: "Follow the manufacturers instructions" and 
use what ever strength guys they use.


   Here the 100' 45G is guyed at 3 levels. Bottom two tier are the 
HPTG4000I with the top being the 6000. The bottom end of each guy is EHS 
for about 10-15 feet.  The 45G had a large array on top and even on a 
windy day it was rock solid up there.

  That was really overloaded and destroyed one each, TB-3 and TB-4 
thrust bearings.
