This sounds crazy to me. There is so much vibration on a grain structure
from the motors, augers, moving grain, etc. that I would bet the tower
would literally come apart after a few years. You would never catch me
on a tower on top of a grain elevator. ;)

I have no question about mounting to existing grain leg structure...
that's pretty cut and dried. The question is about adding tower
sections, bracketed or guyed, to the existing grain leg structure to
raise the height you can install equipment. (I've heard of up to 70'
of additional height.)

Subject: [WISPA] Towers on grain legs
It was brought to my attention yesterday that some WISPs put tower
sections on grain legs.
How many of you have done this?
Could you describe the particulars of those installations?
Pictures?
Did you have an engineer approve your designs?
