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

[Steve Bell, Sunwize Technologies]

Three anchor points make it much more unstable to try and tilt the tower up
during installation. Unless of course you are using a crane to lift it into
place.

> 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.

accepted practice that we all do but no-one really thought about it.  Why
not use three instead of 4.
