Building the tower
The tower for your new wind generator is probably the easiest thing to build in this whole project, since you can sometimes find them super cheap and already assembled.
We had been using an old ham radio tower that we found in our local paper for 20 bucks, but when we saw we could build it using the shopping list supplied with the latest set of plans we ordered we gave it a go.
We used the exact dimensions in the guide and had it finished in about 35 minutes time. It took us over 2 hours just to go and get the other tower and get it to the house, so this new set of plans turned out to be a real time saver, not to mention it looked way more professional than the old wind generator tower we had before.
Our new tower stands 10 feet tall and is nestled in our backyard away from any obstacle that could block the wind from hitting our wind turbine blades.

Once you have you new tower up, make sure it’s plum. (level on the vertical)
