I think I mentioned how dad and I did that in the early 70's. I should just do that again. The 2" range 2, Oil well pipe I was wanting is 34' long and weighs 357 lbs. That's what we used at my friends house. We coupled a section together. I was talking to him yesterday. He won't haul it for me on his trailer. Says it's to long. So we're not talking for now, especially after I busted my ass helping him put his up. That's another story. I know it's crazy heavy, but it's free and I have bucket truck access. I was going to drop it down into another pipe concreted in the ground so it'd be free standing and run wires from it.

Anyway, that Rohn pushup is the direction for now, unless I can find some similar galvanized as mentioned and replicate that. I'm in a rural area where that's hard to find. Tower is still possible if I can find any that's not junk.

[QUOTE="Mudfoot, post: 855736, member: 10055"] I think I mentioned how dad and I did that in the early 70's. I should just do that again.
