A guyed mast or guyed tower is a tall thin vertical structure that depends on guy lines for stability. The mast itself has the compressive strength to support its own weight, but does not have the shear strength to stand unsupported. It requires guy lines to stay upright and to resist lateral forces such as wind loads. Guy lines are usually spaced at equal angles about the structure's base.

In building construction, topping out is a builders' rite traditionally held when the last beam is placed atop a structure during its construction. Nowadays, the ceremony is often parlayed into a media event for public relations purposes. It has since come to mean more generally finishing the structure of the building, whether there is a ceremony or not. Also commonly used to determine the amount of wind on the top of the structure. Another, more functional reason, that a pine tree was hoisted to the top of framed out buildings (topping-out) was that it was a Scandinavian tradition to hoist the tree. When the pine needles fell off, they knew the wood frame below had cured/dried-out so they could in-close the building.
