I would like to know what the highest pole anyone has inserted into this thing, I am assuming most are doing 6-10ft? I would like to go 15-20 feet?

If you attach antenna brackets up the side of a house or something to stabilize it you could. Otherwise 6-7 ft is about it . Also depends on if it's a wooden or metal pole.

It depends on the windload of the antenna you are putting on it. You could use guy wires for more strength.

If you use the tripod for its designed purpose of support for a satellite dish,you should not need a longer mast since the signal is coming from a low earth orbiting satellite. With a five foot length mast, the wind may topple it unless you stake the feet to the ground. A longer mast would require guy wires.

would depend on weight of the pole used. I'm using a 15 foot TV mast with a six foot light weight vertical antenna on top of that. I am using tent stakes at the bottom into the ground.

Anything over 8 feet should have guy wires to hold the pole steady in a wind. Other wise the pole will sway and then bend over. Put 3 or 4 guy wires at 8 feet and 16 feet. You could put up a 40 foot tower if you have the room

what you are putting at the top and how big it is what is weighs is the primary concern. I have a single square OTA antenna and rotor at about 10 feet with no sign of problems. Only other issue is the diameter of the mast, too bad the don't make a reducing mast adapter to make it a bit lighter at the top.

I have had the remote work at 15 feet. Never tried any further since that was the longest distance we have needed on most jobs. Hope that helps

We did 10 ft pole. We had drill a hole in the side of the pole to feed the wires.

Unfortunately we do not have any longer poles at this time. Our current pole extends to 60 inches.

I have more than enough to go around my pole. it actually over laps so you should have plenty. its Velcro so if you ever have an issue you can also pick up some at any hardware store in strips to extend the length.

so far i have only used it up to about 14 feet. It worked perfectly so far up to that distance.

I mounted mine on the corner of my house attached to a couple of sections of pipe and got it up pretty high and it work very well. I was getting a 5 mile range until all the sudden I couldn't get a mile and I don't know what happened but for the time it worked really well in that configuration I used about 50 feet of coax

We are at 7000 feet and it works great. One of the best investments we have made.The installation manual gives the proper pressure settings for your elevation. Hope this is helpful.

I'm not sure the highest I been and used it it was about 900 ft, about 4120 meters.

From the top of the stabilizer bar that rests on the ground to the very top of the pole is 27 and 1/2 inches. I usually stay about 2" from the very top when I have to raise the grill out of the way of the fire, but as L. Ellis said there's no set stopping points. It's your discretion. I'm about 25" off the ground at the highest point that I go.

Yes I have. It is cumberson to use. I have we sties 20 lbs. I can't not seem to adjust it to be short enough. So I use it as best I can but I set the arm pole all the way up as far as possible. It works enough. Not loving it though.

No you can't do that and even if you could the normal pole is about all you can hold at that distance. It's very long and can really track up far.

How far apart ate your clothes poles? If, for instance, 25 feet, then you will need more than 5*25 or 125 feet of line to string between the 5 hooks. Of course, you may choose to not string all 5 hooks on each pole. Absolutely! set the poles in the ground, measure the distance between them, purchase whatever amount of line you need and then string them. I also use a 1x2 about 8 feet long to lift tne line in the middle. That helps to expose the clothes a little better, and keeps the middle of the line from sinking and those clothes from touching the ground.Best of luck with your installation.Mike140513.1733 How far apart ate your clothes poles?

Sorry, it was perfect for me, a short little runt (5'3"). Seems like elsewhere on the Internet or on Amazon others had commented about adding (splicing in) another length of pipe to bottom to raise the top section, but I'm not exactly sure how that was done. Need some mechanical engineer type person. The other possibility might be in building up the concrete on the outside and any internal PVC or steel pipe that the two pieces could fit on - but you'd need to reinforce from the outside. Instructions were like to sink 20" of the pole into the ground for stability (I forget the exact number, but it was a ways on down, to give it stability.). So if you made the concrete footing shallower relative to the ground level then you likely will need to have some sort of buttress on the outside, or extra bracing from the ends of the horizontal "T" pole down to the ground (and the appropriate safety "flags" or coloring or flower vines or something so that people don't hurt themselves tripping over the guy wires. Anyway, this is kinda off my head but sorry I don't have a really great solution other then just to research other places. The pole is just about right for me... the clothes line is starting to get a little droopy and catch on my top knot but I just need to tighten them to make it not tangle it up with my head. Otherwise it's working out just fine for me.

i live in a campground but i have in on a 12 foot pole. depends on the trees and building around you and the distance to the stations. at one time i just had it bolted to the luggage rack on top of the camper and got good reception.

That is a little far, this thing might not make it, you may need a higher powered AP with a separate high gain directional antenna. I've had it work well up to 200ft.

From 17-20MPH is the best I can tell over a year of use. Mine is mounted about 15 ' high on a 14 ' post cemented 2' into the ground with a small pole adapter I had wielded from the Gudcraft pole mount kit. Maybe another 10' to clear most surrounding trees would help but unless you have winds that prevail from a particular direction not the hit you from every direction type buy another one with more blades. I have two 250 watt solar panels that create about 85-90% of our power. Best of luck
