[TowerTalk] Putting in First Tower

[Wayne Kline]

Hi
 
 Remember to check out the Tower Bible  http://www.rohnnet.com/rohn-25g-tower
IMO this is the guideline you'll need to submit for a permit if one is needed.
 
Pier Pin  base or Cemented in tower section base.   There are two camps 
One who swears by them and one that swears AT them.
 
IMO unless your way overloading the 25G  a cemented in base is ok.
 
The guy anchor base and tower base dimension are in the Rohn site
 
As for future expansion   extend your guy anchor points   to accommodate  that GROTH ☺

> 	- Cement needs to be 3000 PSI rated
> 	- I want to go bigger on the whole just in case I want to go higher than what I currently have on hand
> 	- Get with local County to make sure I am ok with how I want to get this accomplished.
> 	- Once the cement is poured I have a minimum of 30 days of curing before I can start putting sections together
> 	- If it falls it has to land on my property and not any of my neighbors :)
> 
> What I do not know:
> 	- Best way to accomplish digging of the hole and setting it up for the tower
> 		- Disturbed or undisturbed
> 		- Rebar pattern
> 		- Dimensions (x by y by z (where z is the depth)
> 	- How to properly setup the anchors for the guy wires
> 	- Can I guy to the same point from different heights if my height requires a guy at “a" feet and another at “b” feet.

> All guidance and pointers is greatly appreciated. If you are local I am open to a visit for some personal pointers to see the lay of the land (so to speak)
