Roger,
You asked. So here goes:
1) make sure you place the tower at least one tower length from the
house.
2) since it isn't engineered, guy it as best you can--and following
the rohn plan
shouldn't hurt you.
3) The problem of draining rainwater out of the legs is a big one.
Particularly
north of the border. I would make sure you cap off topside, to
prevent rain
incursion. Then, we need to come up with a solution for drain holes.
Maybe some small diameter thru-drills? That will void the
galvanizing, but
that's preferrable to not having a drain. Maybe a couple of .010
or .020 holes
just above the solid second impingement?
anybody have more creative ideas?
