I think Unistrut is probably fine for the relatively short term time
frames and the loads we put on them.
Long term dedicated tower hardware with HDG is a probably a better
choice. The other issue with Unistrut (at least the galvanized stuff)
is that it's usually cut to fit properly and the cut end will rust. It
won't be enough to cause any structural issues but it will probably
leave some rust streaks and might annoy the tower owner. Stainless
would be fine but it's very expensive - the regular tower hardware is
cheaper.

And not just plated, but dipped. Makes a big difference.
Unistrut is usually just plated. If it's a quality plating job, it
might be OK, because I see several bits of galvanized unistrut here
and there, and they look fine even after years. But I occasionally
see a hunk of unistrut that didn't have enough plating, and they will
show their age.
HDG hangs in for the long haul.

I should have said MTOWP is galvanized, in other words it works,
works well, don't bother with strut =P

as anybody used power/unistrut to make an tower stand off bracket
before? The reason why I am asking this is because I am getting
ready to mount 3 sectors on an tower that is 130 ft up and I see
some of them tower stand offs are around 300 dollars per set I
cant see spending that much on something like this.
Thanks Tim
