Procure a 10ft TV tripod into which you insert a Rohn push-up mast. That
will easily get you 15+ ft above the shed roof.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Low Cost 20 Foot Mast
All:
I'm looking for a low-cost 20 foot mast that can handle a modest 2 meter EME
setup. The mast will be cemented in place and attached to the side of a 9
foot tall shed for support. I can't anchor guy wires to the ground, but I
can run a couple to the shed.
The challenge is home brewing something that can handle the weight of the
azimuth and elevation rotors mounted at the top so the mast.
I thought of threaded galvanized pipe sections, but they are a bit pricey.
Also thought of 2 inch schedule 40 PVC with some kind of internal support to
make it more rigid.
Any suggestions?
Tony
