The mast is made from 5, 10’ long sections of fence top rail (Thanks Rick Hiller for the suggestion). They’re joined with Fiber fix to keep the swaged joints from blowing out. This makes 1, continuous 50’ mast. To stiffen it, it’s wire-wrapped to a tree. This supports it most of the way up. At the very top of the mast is a pulley where the rope is stuck. Further support is with a “back stay” line to go to another tree in the front yard. The reason for the pipe is because there are no branches high enough to simply use the slingshot and then give a chord across the roof and into the back yard. If it was that easy, I would have done it! For 2 years, I ran with a tree in the front yard that was 67’ tall until it died.0449.jpg>0451.jpg>0452.jpg>0453.jpg> I have a 30’ ladder to get up in the tree. A good climber should be able to get a hook into the loop of the rope and pull it.
