I temporarily guyed mine every section as I went up. It wasn't necessary
from a structural standpoint since you can safely go at least three sections
above a guy point, but it held the tower sections above the previous
permanent guy point steady and free from rocking and swaying as I shifted my
weight. I felt much more at ease and relaxed while working, which I feel
added tremendously to my safety while on the tower.
