Hello Fred:
You must do what the manufacture says.
Please take your question to the engineers at your tower manufacture and listen
to their advice.
Please do what is the properly engineered solution.

Tnx.
Good anchors have pullout resistance specs that vary depending on the type of
anchor and the soil. The pullout specs on the American model PE46-guy are
very impressive when compared to the anchors with single discs. I don’t know
if Rohn provides pullout specs with their anchors, but they should.
