SUPPORT STRUCTURE FOR A GUIDED SURFACE WAVEGUIDE PROBE

Disclosed is a support structure for a guided surface waveguide probe. In some embodiments, the support structure includes vertically oriented corner columns that define outer corners of the structure, vertically oriented intermediate columns that define portions of outer sides of the structure, each intermediate column being positioned between a pair of corner columns, framing members that extend between the corner columns and the intermediate columns, plates located at junctions between the framing members and the columns, and fasteners located at the junctions that secure the framing members and the plates to the corner columns and the intermediate columns, and that secure the framing members to the plates, wherein the corner columns, intermediate columns, framing members, plates, and fasteners are all made of a non-conductive material.
