In this video, as requested, we discuss setting up our personal megatree built using an antenna tower. The structure stands over 20ft tall plus a 3ft star and is completely removable.
As discussed but good to mention:
Lower section is about 18" and encased in 27 gallons of concrete (500lb)
Mid section is 10ft
Top section is around 9ft
Topper is attached to a galvanized pipe used as a sleeve
All bolted with grade 8 bolts
Guy wires are 5/16 with stakes 7ft into the ground and 1500lb capacity turnbuckles
Base is a 10ft trampoline with the legs shortened
Straps run from the lower concrete hooks to the trampoline base to stabilize together
Concrete buckets are set onto trampoline legs then strapped to the base.
Total concrete is around 1,000lbs.
Last season this structure, set up exactly the same way, sustained direct 70mph winds.
