Let me run this by you to see what you think.

Cut down the existing 2in pipe to a 3ft stub.

Slip a 3in x 10 ft pipe over that and bolt it with 1/2in bolts

Use a 2in x 10ft schedule 80 threaded pipe coupled to a 2in x 10ft schedule 40 threaded pipe and slip it 2 ft inside the 3 inch pipe and bolt it.

This makes 28ft and his eave bracket will support part of the 2in section.

Finally, use a 10ft x 1 1/4 pipe and slip it 2ft in the 2in schedule 40 pipe and bolt it.

This makes 36ft. All pipe will be T1061 aluminum.

I mentioned schedule 40 for one of the 2 inch 10ft sectiond because 1 1/4 maybe to tight to slip in a 2 inch pipe. Also ordering 10ft pipe will be cheaper shipping compared to an oversized rate for a 20ft piece.

Imax antennas are light, the pipe is light and 1/2 bolts are plenty strong enough to hold all this up.

What do you think?
