[TowerTalk] Phillystran suppliers

[Keith Dutson]

 Everybody I know who went with polyrod ended up replacing with Phillystran.
My 150 foot Rohn 45G was installed in 1999 with 6700 Phillystran at four points.  I expect it to last at least another 20 years.  Hope I live that long!

 I have read posts of this material breaking on the rolls.

I recall back maybe 20 years ago that PVRC members put together a group 
buy of fiberglas guy rod from the manufacturer.  Instead of risking used 
Phillystran, or paying $2.05 a foot from DXEngineering, for such a  
major project you might get together with others and explore doing a 
bulk purchase from the manufacturer.  The stuff might be available in 
1000-foot rolls for a considerably more reasonable price.
