[Boatanchors] Tower erection

[Bry Carling]

Yes, essential for many reasons. The old "tried and true " methods may work ok to a point, but not if you need to make an insurance claim or if your right to have the tower is challenged. Liability is an issue that should be considered. Spend the extra bucks and save yourself from all kinds of trouble.
