Claim 11:
12. A method for assembling a wind turbine, comprising the steps of:
a) providing a tower section, the tower section including at least two brackets attached to an outer surface of a tower section wall and at different locations on a circumference, the at least two brackets each comprising a single plate structure extending vertically between a first cross member and a second cross-member, the first cross member and the second cross-member being physically connected to the single plate structure and extending laterally from the single plate structure to adapt to a curvature of the tower section;
b) connecting at least two stay cables to the at least two brackets, wherein an angle between each stay cable and a tangent to the circumference at the respective bracket has, in a top view of an erected wind turbine, a value of 90° when the respective stay cable is guyed; and
c) lifting the tower section with the attached stay cables onto a further already erected tower section.
