[TowerTalk] Fwd: Advice on tower restrictions possible new

[Grant Saviers]

Re anti climb requirements: they might be in you local/state codes or 
specified in a conditional use permit. I don't think the UBC/IBC 
requires them.   My EMA tower CUP required them or a fence.  So I used 
painted plywood (get 3 from a 4x8 sheet for R25) and J-bolts to hold 
them on at three heights.

btw I have two 10' sections of Rohn 65 in good shape with probably 16ga 
steel anti climb panels welded on, all hot dip galvanized, in good 
condition.  So this previously commercial tower had them.  Free if you 
pick them up in WWA.   QRZ address is correct.
