"I'm looking to design a freestanding tower...

1> what kind of pipe/tubing to use ...
2> footing recomendations -- how wide a hole and how deep ?
3> should I look at a tilt and crank-up design... "


The advice to seek deeper engineering knowledge was not a cheap shot, but sound 
advice. There's
a whole lot more to designing a safe tower system than the 3 questions you ask, 
or jotting down
a few numbers off a website.
