I have a 30' tower. I plan to use a house mount that would be about 15' high leaving 15' free above the roof. I planned on a 10' mast with at 5' long TV antenna. My question is if the house mount at 15' would be enough or would I need to add guy wires?
To Guy or Not to Guy?

None will be required. I've installed several hundred Rohn 20G 50' towers over the years and never guyed any of them. I only used guys >50' , and also switched to Rohn 25G for greater wind loading ability.
Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it.

Thirty foot should be good w/o guys.
How large is your concrete base? Deep and diameter?
How large is your concrete base? Deep and diameter?
Since the towers I erected were mainly for a TV antenna and rotor, my concrete bases were 3' deep x 3' diameter, with two legs facing the fascia and secured to bracket(s). Enough concrete was used to ensure a rounded top surface to provide good drainage.
So a spike plate wouldn't be enough in my case?
