One addition to an earlier post I made, I would definately not join the
lower guy through a turnbuckle to one of the upper guys. That short piece of
the upper guy between the attach point and the anchor point is going to be
carrying as much as twice the load it would normally carry as it will have
the tension of the lower guy added to it's regular working tension.
