I guess I should chime in

I have the Glenn Martin 9ft Roof tower and Im extremely pleased with
it. Its very solid and I can stand on it and shake it and it doesn't
move (and I'm
a very heavy guy).

The assembly went well with only a few minor tweaks for holes. Not a
BIG ISSUE. I swear half the people that complain would rather have
tower
fairies show up and assemble them. If you dont want to do a little
work dont buy this tower.

The shipping was very fast to my northwest home and Yes they did make
an error. I bought the 9ft and they sent an 18ft. They told me I
could
keep the 18 ft as it was their mistake. But that would not have
worked at my QTH. So they sent UPS to pick up the very next day and I
received
the 9ft very rapidly as they Expedited it.

I have an A4S up there and its all solid.

as far as install

I set the tower on 2X4s on top of the roof under the tower feet,
predrilled for long lag bolts. I roof tared under the 2X6's and down
in the holes before
I Installed the tower. Under the Rafter I have 2 2X10s that are 10
feet long. The bolts come down through the 2X4s, the roof then down
through the
2X10s. Its all pulled snuggly up and that distributes the load over
the rafters.

Ive not seen any leaks yet in a year + its been up.


Count me as satisfied.
