Default Universal Aluminum Tower Question

The legs are a bigger diameter depending on the section.
My base is a 26 inch leg to leg, and I have 80ft of it.
Not in the air yet.

Bill, I know they're swaged, but you mean the legs are not the same
diameter tubing all the way up? If not, could you tell me for your 22 and
18 please?
Thanks for your trouble, Bob.

Could anyone who owns one of these towers please measure the diameter
the of tubing leg for me? I am considering a purchase but need to know
if it is compatible with some presently owned hardware.
Thanks for your help,

It depends on which section you use. The sections are numbered by the
number of inches one each leg of the triangle. My base is 22 inches and a
50 ft. tower. Let me know and I will measure. Excellent tower.




I measured 1.5 inches OD on the 22 inch base. Other sections are too high
to get to to measure and too much snow around to climb. I am not positive
but it sure seemed the legs are narrower on the smaller sections. You
could call Universal to find out for sure.
