How would you fix this tower?
Here's my first post, I found this forum while searching for some help, thank you in advance for any advice you can share!
We've got a small three leg 40' tower and I noticed that it was moving around more than I remembered. I started looking at it and I can see where the bolt holes have gotten egged out and allows it to move at the first joint about 6' off the ground.
How would you go about fixing it? I thought about drilling the holes out and putting bigger bolts in, but was worried this might make the pipe weaker with the bigger holes. I thought about putting a "sleeve" pipe over it and bolting it on. I've got a portable welder and all sorts of tools, but I hate to weld on the Galv. pipe.
Any help is appreciated!
I'll try to post a picture of it:
