Frequently Asked Questions
Do you supply observation towers for home use?
We certainly can, but our observation towers are primarily sold to commercial and government customers. For example, a 12’ x 12’ x 40’ high observation tower material inclusive of engineering and foundation design can be shipped to your site within 9 weeks after production begins. Prices start at $60,000.00 plus freight, installation, excavation and pouring of concrete.What is the maximum tower height I can order from Porta-King?
Maximum height depends on which tower product we will be providing. Our field tower has a maximum height of 52’ top of deck. This does not include the additional 8’ or more if it includes a roof. Our standard tower has a maximum height of 40’. This is limited by the size of the galvanizing tanks our towers are submerged in for the finish.What is the maximum footprint or size of the tower I can order from Porta-King?
The field tower has a standard floor area of 3’ x 5’-2” at each level. When you add the additional space that a cantilevered balcony adds, each balcony is 4’ x 9’-2”, which more than doubles the usable floor space for band directors or videographers to utilize. Our standard tower can be built with nearly any footprint that you require, since they can be fully field assembled. This gives you the flexibility to alter the structure for a number of purchases; for instance, adding a prefabricated building for a control tower for your firing range or a guard tower for a prison.What finishes are available?
We complete all our towers with a galvanized finish. We feel strongly that this best serves our customers, as it is completely maintenance free and does not require constant repainting.
What is the best type of flooring to use?
Flooring for all our field towers is galvanized plank grate. On standard towers, the flooring is galvanized bar grate. Both products work very well at allowing water, snow, and ice to pass through the deck and not accumulate.
Can you design my tower to meet specific needs?
At Porta-King we specialize in providing the best solutions for our customers' needs. We have designed rappelling towers, Guard towers, range towers, and many other towers to meet very specific and custom requirements.
