Towers. Regarding the orientation of the T-base.....he said that the
strength of the tower will be about the same in all directions, and suggested
I
just orient the base so that laying the tower down or raising the tower back
up will be most convenient. I guess I was just over-analyzing.
Umm, perhaps. Hi.

on our way! Thanks to all.
Here's how to do the base and anchor bolts. Secure all of the anchor
bolts to the T-section good and tight. Tack weld some rebar or spare pieces
of metal to the top and bottom of all the bolts. Now you can remove the
bolt fixture and handle it easily as you attach it to the rebar cage and level
it. Cover the threads of the anchor bolts with electrical tape. Pour. The
hard work is now done and the tower is guaranteed to mate with the bolts.
