the pole is made of composit fiberglass 42' long made by sliding a 20' length of one pole over one to get the hight that i have. these poles are hollow, but very strong. i reenforsed the bottom 5' by inserting a 5' length of wood utility pole inside it to carry the load on a one inch timpered rod pivot. easy to raise but a lot slower than my easy pole {see my diary}. thanks for dropping by pepa.
