Actually you can install the 6600# Phillystran on 25G and properly
tension it if if has the guy brackets in place and don't wrap the stuff
around a tower leg. BUT if you run the figures for say a 100-120 foot
tower with three tier of guys, you will have some where between 3000 and
4000 pounds of vertical load added. What is the ultimate load
The angles in the following example are the included angle between the
tower and guy lines. It assumes an angle for the top of 60 deg, 45 deg
middle, and 30 deg for the bottom set.
The 6600# line properly tensioned gives 660sin(60)=571# download and 88#
side load per line
at 45 degrees it gives 660sin(45)=446.69# download and 193.31 side load
and at 30 degrees 660sin(30)=330# down and 330 side load
This neglects the weight of the actual guys. We end up with a total
calculated down force from the guy lines of 1347.69 * 3 = 4043# plus
the weight of the tower and accessories if I did the math right.
