I have seen too many installations where the tower was buried in soil and within a few years there was severe corrosion. In one case the corrosion was so bad the; /archives//html/Towertalk/2004-09/msg00120.html (7,400 bytes)

I would use concrete AND a baseplate. You could fill the bottom couple of feet of the hole with gravel before you pour the concrete and still; /archives//html/Towertalk/2004-09/msg00129.html (8,943 bytes)

My "intuition" sez: Then why do the manufacturers specify the hole at about twice as deep as it is wide? Do you mean sidewall area? Lateral shifting and moving--or tipping? lot. ok a pretty; /archives//html/Towertalk/2004-09/msg00131.html (9,564 bytes)

Re: [TowerTalk] tower base concrete or not (score: 1): Author: kb9cry@comcast.net; Date: Wed, 08 Sep 2004 16:37:32 +0000; You'll need the bottom of the base to extend down past the local frost line. If you don't then you'll get frost underneath it and it may heave on you. Phil KB9CRY ___________________________________; /archives//html/Towertalk/2004-09/msg00132.html (8,070 bytes)

Re: [TowerTalk] tower base concrete or not (score: 1): Author: Cqtestk4xs@aol.com; Date: Wed, 8 Sep 2004 13:12:54 EDT; I believe the 45G is only rated for 40 or 50 feet self supporting with a small tribander.
