[TowerTalk] Securing vertical to concrete post?

[Stan Stockton]

Gary,

My first thought would be to cut off whatever length you would need of 25G tower, if it would fit over the post.  If it would not fit, I would somehow shim 45G so it was tight after telescoping it over the concrete post.  If you don't want steel you could use a section of Heights aluminum tower of appropriate size.  You can then use standard hardware to attach whatever you need across one of the faces of the tower.  If it is a single band vertical you can elevate the base and use a couple of elevated radials which will work well near the water.

It is also near saltwater so corrosion is a concern.I've thought of using several large SS hose clamps but even the widest ones I could find are 3/4". I'm looking for something a little more robust. I do not want to drill into the concrete out of concern for letting in moisture/saltwater. Any ideas?73,Gary K9GS
