A lattice tower or truss tower is a freestanding vertical framework tower. This construction is widely used in transmission towers carrying high-voltage electric power lines , in radio masts and towers (a self-radiating tower or as a support for aerials ) and in observation towers .
A steel lattice tower is cheaper to build than a concrete tower of equal height. Two small towers may be less intrusive, visually, than one big one, especially if they look identical. Towers look less ugly if they and the antennas mounted on them appear symmetrical. Concrete towers can be built with aesthetic design considerations.
A lattice tower is a framework construction made of steel or aluminium sections. Lattice towers are used for power lines of all voltages, and are the most common type for high-voltage transmission lines. Lattice towers are usually made of galvanized steel.
Latticework may be functional – for example, to allow airflow to or through an area; structural, as a truss in a lattice girder; [2] used to add privacy, as through a lattice screen; purely decorative; or some combination of these. Latticework in stone or wood from the classical period is also called Roman lattice or transenna (plural transenne).

Shukhov Tower, a lattice 37-meter water tower by Vladimir Shukhov. All-Russian Exposition, Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, 1896. Hyperboloid structures are architectural structures designed using a hyperboloid in one sheet. Often these are tall structures, such as towers, where the hyperboloid geometry's structural strength is used to support an ...
