Hi I bought a used tower tower from where I work. I need some
Help with figuring out how big to pour the concrete base
And where to place the guy wire bases. I bought 120" plus some extra sections for parts. I live an Michigan and my ground is yellow clay. The tower is about 30" from the triangle flat to point.

Welcome to Radio Reference!

Be sure to check local ordinances/codes regarding towers, installation, distance from other homes, sidewalks, streets, driveways,etc. Also check HOA if you have one.

Also call MISSDIG to check for underground pipes, cables, etc.
Michigan Utility Notification Center - MISS DIG System

It’s The Law For your safety, Michigan law requires that all utility lines be flagged before beginning any excavation project. Use our free service to fulfill your legal requirement and avoid costly fines.

You can go to Rohn Tower site and they will have some drawings for tower base size ideas for you based on the size of the tower (height and physical size of tower). I have a Rohn 45G at 45 feet self supporting and my base is 4 feet X 4 feet and 5 feet deep. I had to bring in a machine to dig it. Good luck!
