LOL Check out the specs on a Trylon T-500. No worries about the legs bending. It is 18 inches wide at the top and 42 inches wide at the bottom with HEAVY 60 degree angle legs, not tubular. It will support 52 square feet at the top in a 70 mph wind. The cable attachment point will be about 25 feet up thus taking a big load off the entire system while raising or lowering it. I plan to make a base frame around the bottom using 4 inch angle. Hard to describe exactly but I have it all planned out. I just need to get it down first to modify things. I will likely use the truck to raise or lower it to start off with until I determine the actual pull force required, and then buy a winch. Currently looking at the possibility of a 12-14,000 pound winch to be safe.
