Hi all,
I went to an engineering school 40 years ago but never finished, so I kind of know that this is easily solveable.
I have a triangular sign 12' long (attached to wall) that is 2 1/2' thick and sticks out from the wall 6'. If I use 2 guy wires anchored to the wall 12' apart, that meet the sign at a 45* angle at the point, how large should the wires (stainless steel cable) be in diameter?
The sign weighs 200# total.
The sign is to be attached to our local museum announcing an event.
