Guying Distance from Base of Mast
Use the chart to the right as reference to
determine the proper distance to place the
guy stake for the guys from the base of the
mast.
If you are unable to utilize the 80% rule
then refer to the load characteristics of your
mast in the tables following this section to
understand the impact to the payload
capacity and wind loading of your mast.
Primary and Secondary Guy Placement
BlueSky utilizes a 4 guy configuration to
help minimize the affect wind loading has on
the mast. The primary guys are always
deployed from the top of the mast and ex-
tend out at a 90 degree angle from each
other.
The secondary guys are deployed halfway
down the mast between the top of the
tripod and the primary guys. They are also
deployed at 90 degrees of each other and
45 degrees of the primary guy ropes.
The primary and secondary guys are always
deployed at the same distance or anchor
radius from the base of the mast.
