Any comments on freestanding towers? Apparently the FS/BLM want all new
towers to be free standing in many areas.

the job without wasting material and time. Believe me, I want
efficiency, not corner cutting.

I prob do more things out of specs then most - but that is b/c I add

I know. On one hand I want it good enough for a CPE, but on the
other hand I don't want to hear on the news 20 years from now
that it crashed over and killed a guy when he wanted to put his
VW Bug on top of it. I want to build it to take whatever people
want to put on it.

Don't skimp, you never know what you will want/need in the future.

So.....those 15 94 lb bags are like 60 94 lb bags. I had
figured I needed 1.28 yards for the hole I dug. But now that I
have the specs I will see how big the hole has to be. I will
only put a CPE on this tower. Nothing huge.

Tower
I dug a hole 32 inch square by 42 inches deep yesterday for a
rohn
bx
tower. It is 5 sections of 8 ft. I just got 15 bags of portland
cement
and will add my own
gravel.
I was thinking about three 1 1/2 inch pieces of pipe stuck in
the
concrete
to bolt the tower legs to. I
will
thread and put couplers on the pipe at 22 inches so they can't
move.
I've
got some re-bar to chuck down in the hole
too.
I've got 3 8ft ground rods and will bond with #4 bare stranded
wire.
I
picked up a load of grade 8
bolts,
washers, and lock washers for bolting the tower together and to
the
pipe
stubs. Anyone have any
suggestions
for me? This is my first tower. I will pour tomorrow
afternoon.
