Done all the time.
I would avoid the stacking yagi option unless you buy
a pre canned package with instructions from a known
antenna company with a track record of good engineering.
It's hard to properly stack and phase yagi's when done
from individual parts. Spacing and cable harness problems
will cause you much grief.
The best option for your VHF Signal, might simply be
a decent quality 5 or 7 element beam. You'll be surprised
how wide the usable beam width is.
