Any idea how this vertical dipole plan might actually work?

http://www.instructables.com/id/Simple-CB-base-station-antenna/

I'm considering trying to build one of these this weekend for the CB base station. Does anyone have any opinions? I'm assuming if I only go 20 feet tall, that should leave the lower element about 11 feet off the ground, and the tip of the top element of wire approximately 29 feet off the ground. I guess I'll try to attach the base of the pvc mast to the side of my deck or to the side of my house, but the roof is only about 9 feet off the ground, so there wouldn't be a lot of support past that.
