Here is a view of the progress on the installation of my Rohn-25G 50′ tower. I acquired it from a friend of mine in trade for a case of beer and some gutter repair help, not that I did a lot. My father and I dug a rather narrow 6ft hole which we filled with 8″ of gravel, then set the first tower piece down on top of it and seated the legs in the stone. This allows for drainage so that any water entering the tower legs wont collect, freeze, and then split the pipes in the winter. Then we dumped in another 8 inches of gravel and backfilled the hole with dirt, stopping to compact it with some 2×4’s about every 12 inches. The tower ended up being rock solid, as in absolutely NO saw what so ever. It is as if we bolted it to the house already. I will upload more pics as we make progress and begin lifting up the other sections to complete it.
