for heavy wall fibreglass masts - 3/32 inch wall ("Extra Heavy Duty)  altho 
32 ft max length.  I have installed field antennas with a 33 ft  mast but took 
it up a large tree around 20 ft level  where I tied it  to the trunk thus 
getting more height.   BTW the Wonderpole  will bend considerably in a Inv L 
configuration and you'll have to use  considerable anchoring of the mast because of 
that - but be careful not to pass  the fracture point.  I've found that about 
9 ft from the tip the last few  sections are very springy on these.  I don't 
know how spring the 3/32 thick  wall would be.
