Figure 2-7.—Anchors. proper anchoring and guying of pole lines is essential. These precautions also help to support poles that are set in  sandy  or  swampy  ground,  and  they  counteract  added strains caused by the elements, such as high winds, snow, and ice. Various types of guy anchors have been developed to  hold  imposed  loads  securely  in  varying  soil conditions. Some of these types are shown in figure 2-7. There are many different uses of guys, some of which are shown in figures 2-8 through 2-13. Each usage has its own terminology as follows: 1. DOWN GUYS. The most common type of guy is the down guy. With this type of guy, the wire is run from the top of the pole to an anchor in the ground. Some common uses of the down guys areas follows: a. SIDE GUY. A side guy (fig. 2-8) is used to reinforce a pole line against an unbalanced side pull of the conductors. Such pulls are developed at curves, angles, or sharp turns in the line.
