[TowerTalk] Fwd: Rohn 25 guying question

[Hans Hammarquist]

Another way to go is to use four (4) guy wires  instead like what I did.


Most important is that it is no longer so important to get the guys evenly spaced, which may help "planting" the guy anchors.

Just my opinion.  Not an engineer.  

Not sure how far out you can go but one way to help that angle is to use 
elevated supports given they are strong enough.  If it were mine I would just 
guy it three levels at about 33/66/100 and have 30 feet of tower above the top 
level.
