I’ve got multiple (4)Spiderbeam fiberglass poles up to 60’ tall. With proper guying, I’ve never had a failure. I also find the poles to be very well balanced. I was able to erect a 60’ pole to make a top loaded 160 meter antenna by myself. I think they are a great product. Proper buying is required, of course.
