The trouble with mixing your own cement is that there's *never* really
enough. Do a 4 x 4 foot pad that's 5 feet deep and you've got lots of
concrete. If a cement truck is not an option, rent a mixer. Don't skimp
on the plug, it's really hard to add concrete later.. :-)

That one has 7 sections and mine has 5. I never found the specs for
base. I'll keep looking.

Please read this and the manual from the site. You do not have nearly
enough concrete for the base.

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.
