Several types of towers are available:

Guyed lattice towers, where the tower is permanently supported by guy wires. 
These towers tend to be the least expensive, but take up a lot of space on a 
yard. A radio broadcast tower is a good example of a guyed lattice tower. 

Guyed tilt-up towers, which can be raised and lowered for easy maintenance 
and repair. 

Self-supporting towers, which do not have guy wires. These towers tend to be 
the heaviest and most expensive, but because they do not require guy wires, 
they do not take up as much space on a yard.
