Like others said, ask the tower manuf (if it's new) for a diagram. This one is for a 12' square tower, each corner goes down 15 feet. (1 foot deep for every 10 feet of height) Lots of iron in it, bolts tied to the rebar with nuts and washers to help hold it in the concrete. Holes in between the anchors are 5 feet deep. The leg crew welded the top iron anchors so it was square and tied into itself for added strength.


In reading about the joints .on rerod The wired ones need lapped 3 time as far as ones that had one inch spacers between them

they said the concrete could not get ahold of the wired ones
