You didn't give the design details of your failed elements.
Were they tapered?
Or constant diameter with couplers?
NN4T had problems with tapered elements.
On my suggestion, he went to 7 sections of 6 ft pieces,
each 2 inches o.d. with 1- 7/8 inch o.d. couplers which
were light enough for him to install by himself yet rigid
enough to sustain TN weather and wind.
