Neil spot on but your table is for free standing towers but you must also mention that the lift hight can not be more than the smallest base dimension ie if you had a base of 1.5 times 1.5 the lift hight could be no more then 1.5 but this out of window now.TG 20 states all towers/birdcages must be designed.This is what is holding up the rewrite of TG20
