"Guyed" towers for wind..... [RE-wrenches]

[John Veix]

Hi all,

Just a general query - what is the general preference for guyed wind towers - specifically the preference to 3 guys or 4 guys. I'm not referring to layers of guys (as in height) but to the number of wires out from a single junction point on the pole.

There seems to be more 4 guys but is there a good reason for this, or just accepted practice that we all do but no-one really thought about it.  Why not use three instead of 4.

                                        thanks much,                John V
