Reuben,
If you do not want to go much higher than 30 feet, and are willing to
bracket the mast to the house peak, you can use 3 lengths of chain-link
fence top rail. It is relatively inexpensive and a 30 foot mast can be
"walked up" by one person (don't try it with 40 feet).
With the mast
es from the roof (assuming
you don't have a metal roof). You should pick up 15 feet or so at each end
that way.

You could put up a TV-type 10-foot mast on each end of the roof using a pair of
eave mounts for each one. Then run the antenna between them. There isn't enough
room for the whole antenna, but you can bend the ends down on either end. You
would need a third mast in the middle of the roof to
3 16' 2X4's and you're in business.
Google 2X4 antenna mast.
Good luck and 73,

A number of years ago I purchased two 20' lengths of 2" square, 1/8" wall
fiberglass tubing for the boom of an LPD array that I never built. They have
been laying outside on the ground in the Arizona sun since then. They are still
as smooth as the day I brought them home. Contrast that to
I’ve tried fiberglass poles (from one of the vendors mentioned here, supposedly
with UV inhibitors) for permanent installation. Didn’t work out well. After a
couple of years, the push-up poles started to break down anyway and couldn’t be
handled without gloves unless I wanted nasty fiberglass

NOT sturdy. If you're going to use one, it MUST be well guyed, contrary
to advertising and photos on their website.

I would look for 3 used sections of Rohn 25, then figure out how to safely
bracket it to your house, if possible. That should be do-able for somewhere
close to your budget and certainly capable of holding up a G5RV.

Hey everyone, more of a beginner question here and not [directly] Elecraft
related.
I have a K2 I built some time ago that I paired with a half size g5rv. At
the time, I was living with a buddy whose house design allowed me to set
that antenna up as a sloper (and it worked quite well). That
