FuturEnergy Tower Kits (guy wire version)
Designed specifically to compliment the
entire FuturEnergy Wind Turbine range, these tower kits offer a
simple, substantial and effective way to mount your turbine on your
site. The 'sectional' design allows both Installers and the DIY
enthusiast to install a 1KW turbine in any suitable location, with a
minimum of additional materials and tools.
The 'Standard' kit is 7.5m tall, and is
constructed of 2m sections of 48.3mm 'scaffold' tube lengths. Each
tower 'tube' is interconnected by a simple joining section, allowing
the tower to be built easily. Additional tower 'tubes' can be ordered
separately, as can all other parts used to make these towers. This
gives everyone the maximum level of flexibility when deciding on what
tower size would be best to use in a specific location. If additional
tower sections are to be added to the basic kit, then towers of 7.5m,
9.5m, 11.5m and so on, can be constructed. Please note that we advise
the user/installer to use an additional set of guy wires for each
additional 4m of tower height. This will ensure complete stability for
even the tallest of towers.
The guy anchors and main tower base, and
all other parts, are galvanised for complete weather protection, and
are fabricated using 'heavy grade' steel, to minimise the risk of
failure. All towers are guaranteed against defect and mechanical
failure for 12 months. The tower base and guy anchors can be 'driven'
into firm ground, and will provide suitable tower security when
installed as instructed. For additional safety, and for installation
on unsuitable ground, it is recommended that these parts are
'concreted' into place. For this reason, the kits all contain
additional 'reinforcing bars' for use in concrete foundations.

Delivery cost will be
advised depending on additional parts ordered
Example 1 - To construct an 11.5m
tower, order the Basic Tower Kit + Plain Tower Tube +
Top Guy Tower Tube + Guy Wire Set (which will be adjusted
to the correct length for the new tower height) + Guy Wire
Protectors + Guy Tension Devices + Guy Wire Clamps.
The additional Guy Wires will allow the installer to use 2 sets of guy
wires, affixed to one set of Guy Anchors. If you would rather add a
second set of Guy Anchors for the upper Guy Wires, please also order
the Guy Anchor Sets shown above. Total cost for this 11.5m tower will
therefore be - £295 + £25 +£35 +£20 +£2 +£10 +£10 = £397+VAT (£466.48)
+ Postage.
Example 2 - To construct a 13.5m
tower, order the Basic Tower Kit + Two Plain Tower Tubes
+ Top Guy Tower Tube + Guy Anchor Set + Guy Wire Set
(which will be adjusted to the correct length for the new tower
height) + Guy Wire Protectors + Guy Tension Devices +
Guy Wire Clamps. The additional Guy Wires will allow the installer
to use 2 sets of guy wires. The upper set of guy wires should be
anchored to the additional set of Guy Anchors. This will ensure that
any additional stresses resulting from the additional tower height
will be absorbed by the additional guy anchors. If space is at a
premium, it is possible to use only one set of Guy Anchors for this
height of tower, but these MUST be concreted into position,
irrespective of ground firmness or type. This will ensure that the guy
anchors will not 'pull out' of the ground under the additional forces
generated by the additional tower height. Total cost for this 13.5m
tower will therefore be - £295 + £50 +£35 +£75 +£20 +£2 +£10 + £10 =
£497+VAT (£583.98) + Postage.
