You may elect to have the tubing in a shorter length. The fiberglass tubing may be telescoped inward, outward, or
removed depending on your application. Keep in mind you want a minimum of 12 inches or more of overlap
between tubing sections dependant on location and overall strength required.
Guying
Guying of vertical tubing is strongly recommended for
stability. A four level, four point guying scheme
provides the best mechanical advantage to prevent wind
stress, regardless of direction. The guy lines should also
be used during raising or lowering to minimize stress on
the lower tube sections.
The
DXE-GUY1000-KIT and DXE-GR-5P Guy
Rings
have been designed to be used with the DX
Engineering fiberglass tubes. Both are ideal for fixed or
portable installations.
Figure 7
shows the suggested guying scheme for the
DXE-KIT1
assembly.
Your results may vary since it depends on the length
(height) of your particular installation. Guying of
vertical tubing is strongly recommended for stability.
