[UK-CONTEST] Optimum guying height Spiderpole

[Callum MØMCX]

I have found that I have never needed to guy the Spiderbeam itself at all. 

How to construct:

Use regular "two inch" aluminium scaffold tube which slides neatly inside a
12m Spiderbeam pole. Concrete 50 cms of 51mm plastic plumbers tube into the
garden and slide a 1 metre section of ali tube into your new hole then slot
the Spiderbeam right over the top of the tube. The ali tube is now half a
metre in the ground and half a meter up the bottom of the Spiderbeam
vertical.

Your plastic pipe construction should take no longer than 20 minutes, it's
not a big job but leave it to set for a day or so. You may also not use much
concrete, just two inches in the bottom, then a couple of more inches
further towards the top, like a big club sandwich. You may need to "pad" out
the tube slightly with insulation tape to take up a couple of mm slack but
afterwards, you can let it wave around all winter quite easily.

Here's my version for last year (although I elevated the whole thing as an
experiment):

The radials were not mechanically securing the pole from moving. It didn't
move at all actually.
