Tower training
A safer way
Here is a cheap and safe way to learn how to handle a guyed tower.
If you haven't put one up be for.
You start with two ten foot lengths of ¾ inch PVC conduit and a roll of nylon string.
And with what ever you have on hand for stakes.
The conduit will be your training tower and the string your guys .
The object is to get the training tower standing straight .
Now the conduit will have a lot more flex to it than pipe but this is a good thing.
By working with more flex now you will be well on your way to handle what may come up on the real thing.
Once you have it standing lower it and raise it a few times then put some weight on top and see how things change. Play and experiment and get a handle on things.
The first tower is all ways the hardest so start with some thing that won't hurt any thing or most importantly any one when it falls.
The materials are cheap and the knowledge that is safely gained priceless.
Have fun play safe
