The standard is 80%. You have to be careful that you don't exceed the
compression specs of the tower and those bolts that resist down force. As
you move guy anchors in you have to go up in guy size and tension. If you
buy the sections new Rohn will engineer it for you free. You need to fill
out the
imho, 120 foot of 25g may be cost effective today but full of regret down
the road, unless youre meticulous about inspecting and building to rohn
spec. theyre super easy to twist, very prone to the bolt holes wallowing
out, and if your drainage isnt right, they love to have blowouts. dont
skimp on
I've always done 80% of the height for the farthest distance of the guy
wires.

So you guys convinced me to build on the dirt, much easier. Now what is the
smallest span of guys I can get away with? I want to do 12 sections of 25G
and I can guy it 3 or 4 times, I'm assuming 4 is better. I really want to
keep the guys in as close as possible to save the valuable farming space I
I would tell you that you are waisting money. 2 sections are going to cost
you a lot less and be a better long term solution than mounting a tower on
a building. You can use a house bracket near the top depending on your
building design and start your guy calculations from that point.

If you intent to guy to the building and not to the ground, maybe 30or 40ft
above the peak. That is also significant additional loading on the
structure, be mindful of that. Can you just put it next to the building and
guy into the ground?

At 100 ft . You usually need to be at three 120 degree points 80 ft. from
tower.

Do you mean 4 guyed wires to the tower or 4 sets of 3 guyed wires at 120
degrees points?

I'm building a 40x40 or possibly 50x60 steel building. I would like to
install a guyed 25g on the peak (about 20ft peak from ground level with
16ft walls)
If I guy off 4 times how high can I go?
Any way to do 100ft or ten sections ? I'm assuming my guy span isn't far
out enough.
I know what'
