I have one of the roof mounts for Rohn 25 tower which I've never used. To be
able to use it, is there a document available that has requirements for
requirements of the roof support structure? I'm about to have a new garage/shop
building built, and I'd like to take advantage of this Rohn 25 roof mount which
would have a substantial load with 2-3 sections of tower and antennas. It would
be nice to know what is required to pass on to the designer/drafter before
construction begins, rather than having to "beef up" an existing roof later.

Subject: [TowerTalk] guying roof tower
I currently have three sections of rohn 25 sitting on my roof . It is
guyed at the 15 foot point and the 30 foot point on the tower . It
has been their for over ten years and I have never had any problems . I even
had a tree fall across one guy and broke it . There was no effect on the tower
. On top I have a force12 C-4 ,
432 beam and an interlaced quad for 2 and 6 meters .
This isnt a glen martin tower , but I just wanted to give you my
experience with roof mounted towers .
