How is it unstable?
does it wobble?
or is it a sturdy /twisty kinda thing?
Most of that can be contained by just adding braces between the legs top
middle bottom.
more if needed

On utility poles they sometimes use "sidewalk guys" in tight places.
The wire goes to an arm and then straight down. Lateral force on the
pole wants to pull straight up on the anchor so you get an auger in
real deep. Could you put an auger in adjacent to the pad?

I have a customer that has a tower in the very corner of their yard 90 degree
angle corner. Best I can get in the yard is one guy wire and the neighbor is
not an option to put guy wires in. 25g 50' tall. I'd like to make it more
stable but how? The base is in concrete and has been there for some time.
Heavy winds have not caused damage to the tower so it is not about how solid it
is as much as how much it moves Would a guy wire design where all three legs
were guyed back to the base of the tower using some kind of stand off in the
middle do anything? I think it might make the tower more rigid but would it
keep it from swaying? Since some of the unstableness of the tower comes from
the joints it seems like it might help but is it worth the effort? I maybe
could move out 3' from the base but that angle just doesn't do much more than
attaching to the base just above the concrete. Thoughts?
