At my last QTH I had a 125' tower located at the edge of the woods . I built a
set of Anti climb panels. I Went to the local duct AC Fab shop and had then
cut me Three 8' X 15" Galvanized 18 ga panels. I then proceeded to drill 1/2
holes along the 8' length every 24". on the panels. I then cut three
Alunimum U channels. 1 in wide 3/4 web if I remember . Two panels were secured
just with the black UV res, wire ties and the one had the removable panel with
the channels resting on the cross braces and only secured with 4 a side wire
ties.
I have also see a ham who used pressure treated 1/2 plywood. On two sides he
use hose clamps on the Z bar to secure them and the access side his plywood
was cut wider the Rohn 25 and use double nutted U bolts with saddles on the
tower and washers with wing nuts on the out side of the plywood. There are
many other alternatives I am sure.
