How wide are the base bars (horizontal stabiliser bars)?

Can I use the tower without the base bars (horizontal stabiliser bars)?
Yes you can; by releasing the bolt and wing nuts. Warning: It is dangerous to use the DIY tower without the base bars unless you tie the tower to something rigid or use outriggers.

Do I need outriggers on a 5M tower (DIY)?
Strictly speaking, no. But having two or four outriggers will give a bigger footprint and make the tower feel more secure. In addition, the outriggers can give extra adjustments to uneven ground. Especially in garden use.
Can I build a tower higher than 7M (working height)?
Yes, our eDIY and MDIY towers can reach a maximum working height of 7.15m (23’5″) and our SUPER DIY has a maximum working height of 9.35m (30’9″). For anything taller please see our Trade King and Loyal Industrial towers.
