Re: Watertown Mount

Tying to the handrail would create a safety hazard but there is no reason why you could not work from the ladder to attach sections of conduit that does not impede the use of the ladder. Just don't do one long straight section or else the tension on the wire at the top with all the weight hanging from it would do it in.

But bucket trucks aren't even that high.

That's one of the reasons we bought an old bucket truck I couldn't come up with a solution to that very type of problem other than a bucket truck etc.

I assume you might run the CAT 5 down a railing of the ladder that you use to climb up the tower?
NO attachments to ladders.
Bummer...lol.

It seems like it would be pretty difficult to run cable down a water tower leg. Like...how do you do that? Seems next to impossible. Do you lower yourself down the water tower leg with a rope and attach the CAT 5 along the way?

Could you post a photo of the top of the tower? Also, how do you plan to ground the mast and how do you plan to run the cabling?
I don't have a picture of the top yet but I'll get one soon. For grounding I was looking at a .012" thick x 2" wide copper ground strap made by the same company that makes the magnetmount. Link -> »www.metal-cable.com/page7.html The cables and grounding strap will be ran down the center column.
