Hi Barry,
personally I'd use some galvanized, punched strut. It's a channel shaped
material also referred to as Kindorf, Power Strut, Uni Strut, as well as
many other names. Bolt this to the tower using U-bolts, or clamps, then use
strut nuts, or spring nuts inside the channel to screw the box to.

Looking for some construction advice:
I picked up a made-for outdoors metallic junction box from the Elec.
Dept. at Home Depot. In it, I plan on installing a Beverage transformer
with some relays to switch wires. This box has a few holes on the back
to attach it to a wall, wooden post, or whatever. How should I
attach it to the tower (Rohn 45)?
I can use some wood, attach it to the tower, and attach box to that. I
do have some plywood scraps around that was used for a roof, under the
shingles. It says outdoor-rated, but it doesn't look pressure treated.
Will this hold up to the elements? Any other ideas?
Tnx/Barry
