The typical anchor distance "A" for a guyed tower is normally taken as 80% of the tower height. However, depending on property limitations, towers can be designed for reduced anchor distance of as much as 35%. Tower costs may increase, as anchor distance is reduced due to higher stresses which require larger members and/or guys.

When dealing with irregular property configurations, it is best to forward a plot plan for evaluation.

The following formula may be used to determine the approximate plot size.

   L = 1.75 (A) + 30 feet
   W = 1.5 (A) + 30 feet

A = Anchor Distance
1 Acre = 43,560 sq. ft.
