The kit includes everything that you need except the main steel tubing which is far cheaper to buy from your local DIY store. This kit can be used to construct a stable wind turbine tower that can withstand winds up to 90mph, without the need to dig holes, mix concrete or use an expensive winch to raise it.
The kit includes:

The tower kit is designed to use standard steel tubing with an outer diameter of 1.875' (47.6mm), widely available from DIY or hardware stores. It is important to use only structural steel tubing with a wall thickness of at least 0.065' (1.65mm). If your local DIY or hardware store does not stock this tubing, it is available from a specialist online supplier such as metals4u.co.uk.
