Hello,have a question if you think this type of tower will stand up ok in a cat 1 wind area,I got this design off internet but cant find any one that used it.the first pic is the design found:
second pic is my tower converting to tilt up.held for 2 years as stationary with a few real good storms that blew away my blades,I Modified the design a bit,changed the flat steel to 1/2 inch by 3 1/2 inch.
and 1/2 inch grade 8 bolt to 3/4 inch.
and dropped a schedule 80 galvanized pipe inside the 2 inch pipe to pivot on.
do you think 3 5 gallon buckets of concrete (reinforced)per guy anchor is enough?soil type is good compactable silt loame and elioak.
waiting on concrete to dry for anchor,s to put up tower.generator type is amtek.with 1 meter swept blade area.top guys 3/8 galvanized and bottom guys 3/16 galvanized wire rope.plan on tinkering with gearing and tired of going up ladders.thanks for any feed back.
you guys are the BEES knee,s
