I hope you're still around these days to answer a few questions. I'm looking into making a setup like this and I was wondering: 1) How tall is it and are you using gye wires or free standing 2)is that just normal rohn 25 all the way up or if not, what is it 3)was this a kit, if so any idea from where 4)how much was this 5)any idea what your wind rating is? Anyways, looks awesome, i've only seen it done this way a few times, but I love the concept. - Cheers.
It's an Aluminum 40 ft tilt over tower. Go to Universaltowers.com I have it bracketed to the roof and the winch tight. No wires. Not sure about wind. Purchased new probably 3 to 4 thousand. Steel tower may be too heavy To try with this small Harbor Freight winch and block wall of home. Good Luck
If I did feel the need to give you an explanation it would be that I was planning on moving soon and it was tied off at the top no weight or pool on the PL 259 and I tie wrapped it at the bottom a little above the roof. No need to panic but I appreciate your concern. I personally don’t like spending all that time cinching tire wraps and then cutting them off. You really don’t need to do all that But have fun if you choose to do it on your next big job. Next time I’ll consult you for advice before I do something.
It's an electric wench from Harbor freight about $140 but would not work well with a steel tower. Probably snatch it out of the wall. This aluminum tower is very lightweight.
@@Robertbfender nice. I just bought a foxbody mustang and im trying to find a good place to put the radio into. Ive got a uniden hr2510 and a realistic trc 447 that im trying to decide on which to put in and where
Rafael Estrada wish I could but I’m very busy moving. Sold my house and will be out less than 2 weeks. You should try coffee and cars sometime. Got to get there early though. It’s like 7am to 10am. Car dealership at fletcher & Florida ave. I’ve taken my type R there a couple times
I've moved the ALUMINUM TOWER!!!!! Two times at 2 houses and cranked it up-and-down several times for my cell phone antenna up top pf it also fixing bent Poles never had problem yet. Remember it ALUMINUM!!!!!! Not as heavy and scary as you believe & its nothing money cant fix! LOL
I've lowered it and lifted it. Probably four times in the past two years. Guess what still working fine. Please no doom and gloom don't be scared. Everything's gonna be all right.
Let's see hurricane came through bent my pole had to lower it. Coax started acting up a few years ago. Had to replace my coax had to lower it. My son wanted to add a cell phone tower antenna for his Internet service so I had to lower it again. I moved five years ago had to lower it down then. One time lightning hit my antenna I had a 2000 ground plane burn up everything except my tower. Once again I had to lower it that was about seven years ago I could probably think of a few more occasions, but there you have it
why didn’t you strap the coax down?
@@richarde735 because you weren't there overseeing the job Richard
What part of the tower you have the connection for the winch.
Did you slow your winch down? Great job

@@Robertbfender thank you very much, this has been quite helpful
@@TrueHelpTV YW
One question: Why was the coax cable not attached to the tower using zip ties or some other connection mehod?
Because I like to let my junk dangle.

@@Robertbfender wow majorly dickheaded response to a simple question. You seem fun.
@@USMarine75 Right on my brother
@@USMarine75 Watch silver daddy got down on UA-cam. That's the kind of fun I like to have
Do you have the winch cable connected to the top of the tower to pull it up?
No. About 8 ft up tower. Its ALUMINUM.
Not that heavy like steel
what was that mechanism strapped to the wall its hella powerful

Why do you have to let it down so much?

It's a hell of a lot better than climbing a tower
@@Robertbfender ok, got it. Thx for the detailed reply.
@@Robertbfender yes, mine is on a tilt base but I don't need a winch. On 20ft of mast atop of my deck roof. A99 is about 37ft up.
@@gem1967 great! I hate climbing at my age. Climbed many over past 40 yrs! When I found this 40 ft Aluminum tower I scooped it up.
Oh that how you do this
@@dmo848 it requires an aluminum tower and they are not cheap
OMG!!!! You guys think like me ......... rope over the house with car hitch...f it . buying a winch...thanks!
You gotta do what you Gotta do
Yikes!
