Could you tell me a bit more about that 100' tower?<br>
The last I knew, SWWP only offered a 70' tower. So this would be a 3rd party
tower?<br>
Xzeres (formerly ARE)? Or LMW&S? And is that schedule 40 pipe or schedule
10?<br>
<br>
Did you install the concrete foundations? Since you've installed some tilt
towers before,<br>
I would imagine you understand the importance of having the foundations line up
correctly.<br>
For this reason, I hate finishing a tower installation someone else started!
I've seen as much<br>
as a 6 foot difference in elevation between the two side anchors on owner
installed foundations.<br>
<br>
Under ideal circumstances and on that mythical frictionless plane, I'd allot 1
day with 3<br>
people for assembly and another day with 4 people during the initial raising of
the empty tower <br>
and the final raising with the cherry on top. Having a side spotter on these
towers is invaluable!<br>
<br>
The trick of course is knowing all the unknowns before hand ;-)<br>
