Assuming "light weight" rotors....you'll still need to guy...
Chain link fence "top rail"? 10' lengths at Home Depot. Cross-bolt
together. An "outer guy" near the top can run to a ~3ft "stiff arm" near
the
10ft level and then straight down to ground or to the base itself.
The other two guys can go to your shed, spread out ~120 deg.

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
