Haha, ladder would be interesting! We do have a bucket truck, but don’t need it for this setup. I’ll try and catch the next time a guy installs one, and grab a video of him installing it for the community. You just loosen the brackets, and lower the pipe down, similar to pole vaulting, just minus the running and jumping! Once you have the pipe stood back up using the same method you used to lower it in reverse, you can have it loose in the brackets, turn the pipe left and right to aim, then tighten the brackets down where you want to leave it. Tilt is set prior to lifting the pipe in the air. For a TV Tower install, mount the brackets to the tower, use a prusik to hold the weight of the pipe while you slide the pipe up into place, aim it, then tighten your brackets down.

(Hijacked by 24' pipe discussion) How do you mount the radio 24' up? Replace the radio? Align it? It doesn't look like you have a bucket truck and I'm hoping your answer isn't a ladder.

Stupid question.. why not just put the pipe in the concrete and avoid the 4x4 twisting? On 2/2/2016 1:06 PM, Ben Royer wrote: It does vary on the installation and equipment used. Sometimes we use a taller post if the job calls for it, or we will also anchor the pipe in the ground along side the post. Cost and cosmetics I guess would apply for a taller post, but in concrete, those posts are pretty solid.

Why not do an 10 foot post so you have 7-8 feet out of the ground for more stability?
