It sure seem a shame to wreck such a nice looking tower!!! Seems like you can calculate the compression loads on 2 of those tubes and come up with a suitable number for wind loading. If you know the strength of the steel your using it shouldn't be to hard to calculate this out.
Looks like your having fun! Nice Tower.

The tubes are emt conduit 3/4 inch.
The stuffs cheap all I would be out is a little
time. Whats neat is the weight fo a 10 foot section of tower comes in at only 41 pounds
