Use Fiberglass mast from DXE or even the military surplus interlocking tent poles that are available on e Bay for next for nothing. Plus the vendors usually send them in a heavy duty canvas duffel bag which is worth the price without the fiberglass poles.

I have the Hi-Z 3 Element Triangular Array
and need to make something different than
what I made before. I earlier used 2" PVC
with a smaller diameter PVC section on top
and I ran the wire inside. This worked
well last year but this year the top
element is like wet spaghetti and the tips
of all three elements are now pointing to
the ground. I need to make something that
will stay straight.

Anyone make any of these and if they are
inexpensive to make and are durable, what
did you do to make them?

Thanks,
