New Slimline Pole

[StarScan]

I made this pole last year in high school and thought I'd share. Today I started transplanting some dishes and this was one of them. Added some concrete to the base and filled the pole as well.

I'm going to be doing the same, transplanting dishes to a better spot, once the grounds thaws up here!

Why go through all the hassle welding poles together ?

I was wanting to make it taller and didn't feel like buying a longer pole.

just remember the higher it goes the more wiggle it'll have. provided its level when you plant it and have enough cement on it, shouldn't be an issue. just food for thought when the wind picks up.

You forgot to run a bolt thru the end of it so it won't spin.

the lower half has fins welded on it for just that. the upper half is welded to the lower half. i don't think it'll be much of an issue.

Plus it's filled with concrete. I have a total of 240 lbs of concrete on it.

Ah, ok, didn't see the bottom half close enough !
You should be good !
Make sure it's plumb when you set it and more importantly, it is when you put the dish on it.

I like the pole should work fine just make sure you keep the pole level.
