- There is more to anchor design than just using the same amount of concrete that Rohn does. The SHAPE of the concrete piece undergound has a LOT to do with how much it will hold. It isn't just the co

- It seems to me that it would be easier to drill round holes with a tractor powered post hole digger for the guy wire anchor points than try and dig them by hand. If I use the same amount of concrete

- Ah ... a cubic yard is 3 x 3 x 3 or 27 cubic feet. 27*.67= 18.09 cubic feet required (using your figure) 18.09/3.14=5.76 feet depth required for 1 foot diameter; 18.09/6.28=2.88 feet depth required f

- Remember the goal is not to provide x-lbs of concrete to hold the load, but to provide a device that requires movement of x-yards of undisturbed earth. A flat sided device will require more earth to

- I agree, however, I would drill with the tractor and then square the holes with a "sharpshooter" shovel and hand post hole diggers... Chuck, KE5FI -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/towertalkfa

- Hi Chuck, Keep in mind that you could use the power auger to dig about 3 or 4 holes in a row and then clean them out with a shovel. This would give you the trench you need for the anchor, use power t

- Hmm. My back of the envelope computation says something isn't right. If you double the diameter, that quadruples the volume per foot of height. If 5.76 feet is right for a 1 foot hole, then a two foo

- Well, maybe it should be, but it isn't. Let's try pi*r^2*h (no 2* in there) Area of a circle is pi*r^2, times the height is volume. Nor with that math. :) p.s. a 1 foot diameter hole would need to b
