Wondering what everyone is using out there as the "Poor Man's" Transit? Installing several towers and wondering what's being used to verify Guy anchors are 120 degrees from each other from the base p

Rich, The way that I did it was to lay it on paper using other buildings as a reference for measurement. For instance, I put it 10 feet from one of the corners of my house. On my scale drawing, I was

Rich, A couple ideas... 1. Rent a transit. Local sellers of transits (survey shops) often rent transits. They are not the latest and greatest, but you don't need that sophistication. 2. Call the loca

Rich, I admire your attention to detail, but I can't help but observe that the accuracy required to lay out guy footings is fairly forgiving. Just allow to be longer than the minimum distance. You ju

I am not sure what you are asking but I think that what you want is to have three peg around the base of the tower equidistance apart. Take a rope about 20fr or so long, put a stake in both end, say

It is easier to just use tape measures simulateously to triangulate. This avoids drawing arcs on the ground. For example, mark the first guy point at the correct radius and arbitrary angle, then pul

The easiest thing to do is to stand a section in the spot where the base is going to go. Aim the legs in the directions where you want the anchors to go. Look thru the face to the opposite leg and th

Indeed. But Rick's idea is very close. One could use two tapes and mark off equal distances chordally and radially and this will produce a hexagon. Just pick the alternate points and that should do i

Hi Rich, For the last 40 years I have been using a 6 foot string at arm's lenth weighted by a crescent wrench to determine if my towers are vertical or not. I learned this trick from some power compa

My Rohn catalog dated 1987 states that anchor alignment has a tolerance of plus or minus 0.1 degrees. If you have a 100' tower with an 80' guy radius your anchor location would have a tolerance of pl
