I used I beam material rather than pipe. I have a 25G (75ft)and 45G
(100ft) both done that way. The I beams are anchored in concrete of
course. I had tabs added to the I beam for the guy ends on the 25G posts
and a 0.75 inch rod through holes in the I beam for the 45G. The guy
tabs are about 6 feet above ground to allow my tractor to run close but
under the guys. Both towers have been up for years and through
hurricanes and a tornado.
FWIW

I have a small lot and my tower is 70' of 25G. Due to some obstacles
in the yard that can't be worked around I need to sink some metal pipe
in concrete and attach the guys about 6 feet up instead of taking them
down to the ground. I realize this isn't the preferred situation.
What type of pipe should I be looking for?
Thanks, Rick N0VT
