Homemade Antenna Tower

Hey guys, I don' t have a design ready to post yet, but my question
is.. How high should my tower be for my vertical sector wifi antenna?

What you see is what you cover

I'm currently still undecided on which antenna to get

It depends on lot of factors. As a (over) simplistic method use LoS
equation, add some margin for fading and calculate link balance to get
ERP figures. From ERP you can find out the antenna you need for your
feeder losses.
