I'm finding out that it's rather tricky to get large aluminum pipe out my
way, especially something 12+ feet long.

I was thinking about building one from square steel tube, but I don't know
if that'd be too heavy for me to easily move around the tower, or too heavy
for the tower itself (Rohn 25G).

I also realized that a 12' 4x4 is about $15. If I rig it right so that I
get very little angular loading on it, would that suffice?

Thanks,
