Find a 12-15 foot long piece of pipe the will fit over the BOTTOM end of the mast and bolt/secure it to it.

next question will be: "How do I stand it up?"

I'd be very concerned about guying it right, and mindful of ANY power poles/wires that the antenna/masting could potentially fall on!
Safety comes first . . .

Put the 20' one in the garage or sell it and purchase a 35' ' telescopic mast . Problem solved. 3starinc eBay seller sells a 35 rohn' for s fair price. I concidered purchasing one myself. Then thought having to manually raise and lower it would be a hassle.

I might be wrong, but,......... I don't think ROHN even makes a 35 foot mast.

Rohn, ez- up and eagle all sell telescopics between 30' and 40'. I didn't get the felling the op need it to be 35 on the button. I do believe your correct Rohm doesn't sell a 35 footer but I'm positive he'll find on close enough to the height needed/wanted.

yeah,.... my point was, if someone is selling 35 foot ROHN masts on flea bay, then somethin is not right

I have a old pushup mast it only extends to 28ft to 32ft that would make the feed point of the Imax 10ft to 12ft higher up that would be high enough. The I could lower the 20ft pushup mast low enough that it would not affect the Imax.

I think he has 2 antennas or something up JJD. I am not sure what he is quite saying, his sentences aren't completed. Need to make up some words to place in between tnem to get it right I suppose LOL. Like said, get a rohn telescoping tower 30-40ft is plenty. If possible the 40ft would be the way to go. Just secure it properly and it will be good to go. Put your antenna bottom at 36ft with the pole buried 4ft deep. Problem solved. Or do what CK said and add it to the bottom, drill both pipes and secure them with a bolt. Done deal either way!!
