If the pull on a corner pole is 50' or less, how should a guy be positioned?

A guy should be positioned at a bisecting angle when the pull on a corner pole is 50 feet or less. This orientation effectively distributes the tension and stabilizes the pole. Positioning the guy wire at a bisecting angle helps counteract the force exerted on the pole, providing balance and reducing the likelihood of pole movement under load.

Using this approach ensures that the guy wire does not exert additional unnecessary force on the pole, thereby enhancing its stability and integrity. This method is particularly important in the context of outdoor plant design, where environmental factors and loads can affect the structural performance of telecommunications and utility poles. As a general rule for guying poles, employing a bisecting angle allows for optimal support without creating undue stress on either the guy wire or the pole itself.
