It's looks pretty freaking scary either way. Even putting up a small 30ft tower, aren't you supposed to bury the first section like 4ft in concrete? That first picture looks like they just used a base plate and secured it to the grainery. No thanks.

Pretty much.

How is that secured to the rest of the structure and did an engineer approve it or did you just slap it up?

*nods*  Trylon said they'll tell me all the load information, but another
engineer (perhaps from the leg company) would have to sign off on how it
would attach to the leg and if the leg could hold the loads.

I have put literally hundreds of two way radio antennas
on top of structures like you picture, but never have I
put tower sections on top of the structures to hold
antennas.

I don't know where I would find an engineer willing to
sign off on it.

Since what I'm picturing in my mind doesn't seem to jive with what
I'm hearing, this is the type of structure I'm referring to.

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?
