What was the general reputation of these no concrete EZ Way
tower bases? Potential problems such as:
Wonder ground post leans over?
Wonder ground post sinks into the ground?
Fins bend or break off?
The whole thing turns to rust in short order?
I'm looking for ways to put up towers on my land without
concrete so that if I remove them I can disk up the land.
Does it make sense to have a fab shop make a copy of a wonder
ground post? How was the wonder ground post installed?
By pounding it into the ground, or by digging a hole for
it and backfilling?
It seems like a large enough set of fins would give the same
resistance to overturning vs PSI rating of the soil compared
to concrete, but it doesn't have the weight of the concrete.
I've always wondered whether the massive weight of concrete
isn't the real thing holding up the tower as opposed to the
resistance of the soil.
