I used a Tennadyne in St Croix once, I just did not recall a plastic mast
bracket. I believe it had a square boom so a polypropylene Stauff clamp could
not be used to bolt the boom to an aluminum plate however maybe something
similar can be made for the square shape.
Garolite is pretty tough and expensive. I have used it myself and it worked
well.
With a log periodic hot boom you have to be careful how you run the coax across
the boom but that's a different subject.

Yes, Dave is correct, the boom on the Tennadyne design is "RF hot" as to how
the LPA elements are fed ...
Suspect something like Garolite or similar that W3LPL, K3LR, N4TZ/9, W9RE, and
others use might be a suitable material?
