This sleeve for a chain link fence works well to provide a joint between the hex beam center
post and the mast. The holes through the center post should not be drilled until the hex
beam is set into the joint to avoid the problem of aligning the holes. The rings with the quick
links on them allow the mast to turn without twisting the guy ropes.
You will want to have three guy ropes every ten feet of height. The guy ropes should extend
out no less than the vertical distance. A good approach is to figure the highest guy rope and
tie the other lower ones to the same stake in the ground at three locations spaced 120
degrees around the mast.
