My Cheap 80 Foot (30m) Home Brew Tower Fell Down!
We destroyed an 80 feet tower in 5 seconds. But the 60 foot version worked GREAT! Full parts list for my home-brew 60 feet tower made from scaffolding poles, connectors and poly rope detailed in this video - and also below. TAKE CARE because if anything goes wrong, you are into an extremely serious accident.
You will need:
- 4 x alloy poles (optionally one in steel)
- About 1,000 feet (330m) poly rope (lorry rope)
- Some sort of tilt-hinge (I have made a couple of these on this channel)
- 3 x straight scaffolding connectors
- 1 cross joiner (for just above the tilt mechanism)
- 2 hinged connectors (if you wanted to make the crossbar)
- At least 4 large guy points (you can home brew from angle iron)
- Selection of 6mm / 1/4 inch bolts to tap the poles for guy points
- at least 3 x 4-way guy points for the scaffolding poles
- Steel carabiners with a decent high rating
- Hard hat (seriously!)
- Know how to tie knots!
