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

[Kurt Nelson]

Tilt-up towers, designed to be raised and lowered, use four guys.  I
think most guyed lattice towers (not tilt-up) use three.

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
