it's 22 ft to the tip so just under 23 at the top of the anemometer. I got 3- 10ft sections of metal conduit from "lowes" 1.5" , 1.25", and 1in these are measured by the inside diameter. double check they are straight I found a few that were not.
First I dug a 3ft hole with a post hole digger about 18" around placed the 1.25 piece into the 1.5 piece around 36 inches drilled 3 -5/16 holes all the way through installed nylock nuts and bolts same thing with the next smaller 1 inch piece into the 1.25 piece however i used 1/4 bolts for that
The pieces had alittle slop in them So i used tightly wrapped electrical tape the shim them so to speak.
I also poured a cement mix down the 1.5 inch piece that was cemented into the ground.
Everything costed around $25 ...I have no guy wires and it's withstood several gust around 40 mph
The hardest part was marking the postition of true north so it took a few tries of removed the 2 upper pieces from the base piece..
Any other questions i'll be glad to help.

Very nice set up!!
How high is your mast set up? And curious to know also what it's made of?
