Hello,

I was wondering at what size of a pole does someone need to use a guide wire?

I have a 10 FT pole and where i am going to install it is about 4 to 5 feet. I'm thinking about leaving at least 1 FT. off the ground so i was thinking if i need to install ground wire.

Nightlinks,

Everything should be grounded to a Single Point Ground.
