I recommend using angle steel. Point the long side towards the tower and punch
a hole up top for shackle or equalizer plate and bottom for rebar. It doesn’t
require any welding (no doublers). Of course use an engineer for certification.

Pipe has no structural specs but many people have used 6" diameter for
elevated anchors. I used 4 foot high structural beams on two sides at my
P40A 70 foot tower http://www.p40a.com to clear the roof of the house and I
did not have room for the standard 80% anchor distance but fortunately it
held up fine. Be aware that a 6 foot high anchor should have a large
concrete footing. Of course to do this correctly it should be
professionally engineered.

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
