    You might want to have a PE or engineering-type run some calcs on your 
proposed installation. You still need the windload info.

    Might be - it depends. Tower capacity is a direct function of leg 
strength; 25G legs aren't real substantial so they have their limits, as do all 

    The towers are designed to TIA-222 specs so ALL towers are conservative. 
In all cases the LXC Prime Directive should be observed: "DO what the 
manufacturer says." Failure to comply is at your peril.
