[TowerTalk] Low Cost 20 Foot Mast

[Tony]

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?
