A plastic cap on the end, then dip the last 3 inches in PlastiDip. No bugs, no water, no worries.

Spiders have felled towers. I had one that had a web in a leg about 15' from the to in a 40 footer. The web trapped moisture whioch froze. we then had a heavy rain followed by another freeze. It split the tower leg, ruining the section. Had the tower had a larger load, it would have completely folded.

Ive seen it happen much closer to the ground in cheap, Aluminum TV towers and those were a complete loss.
