Hello fellow tower makers!

Do you recommend that we put cross beams on every side of our tower. Or just 2?

Your advice is appreciated!
:P
:P Thanks

First, it would be worth your time to review past posts; how bracing works, what you need and why has been discussed at length.
Second, if you only brace 2 sides, it will fail prematurely, with legs buckling in toward each other on the sides without bracing.

First of all, definitely brace on all sides of the tower.

Secondly, please post stuff like this in general discussion. There is no need to create a new topic for it.
