Lattice tower

[grace1111]

Here we discuss about lattice tower. A lattice tower is a freestanding framework tower. They can be used as electricity pylons especially for voltages above 100 kilovolts, as a radio tower (a self-radiating tower or as a carrier for aerials) or as an observation tower.

Before 1940 they were used as transmission towers especially for short and medium wave, occasionally lattice towers consisting of wood were utilized. The tallest wooden lattice tower was at Mühlacker. It had a height of 190 metres and was built in 1934 and demolished in 1945. Most wood lattice towers were demolished before 1960. In Germany the last big radio towers consisting of wood were the transmission towers of the Golm transmitter and the transmitter Ismaning. They were demolished in 1979 and 1983 respectively.

In the UK there have been several different manufacturers of lattice steel towers, which can crank-up and/or tilt over. As far as I know only one or two are still manufacturing in 2011. In amateur radio circles, most UK towers are Versatowers, with a few Western Electronics towers (Westowers), others made by Radiostructures, Altron, BXI, a few very expensive Luso towers and an occasional American-made tower.

The box is a cube about 4 feet wide on each side. One friend suggested building a latticework box around it. I'm also thinking of maybe some sort of lattice tower with ivy/flowers? I'm clueless how to work with this unsightly eyesore. Help!
