## 4 inch OD x .100 wall  irrigations pipe has been used by a lot of folks.  Locally,
across town, its available in 20-30-40 ft lengths.   Some have used  rohn 25 G sections,
with the insulators installed in the legs.  Then you  could elevate the radials, the feedpoint,
and climb up to both of them. 

##  The ground mounted irrigation pipe method works good, provided its  constructed
correctly.  The upper portions can be tapered  from 4 inch, down to 3 inch then down to 2 inch od.
