Hope you are enjoying the offseason and doing those small (or maybe big) tweaks to ensure success in 2025.
Only a couple modifications for me. I waffled all my gourds with 1/2 copper pipe. A different take, we’ll see if it helps.
I also modified my home made poles to get a little more height out of them. Easy modifications, gained maybe 6” of height.
On to my main question though, I’m a budget shopper and have been keeping an eye out for a chunk of pipe/tubing that would be suitable for the next pole build. I came across someone selling the quad pod setup for a good price, so I bought it. This pole is built out of 1/8” wall 2.5 galvanized pipe.
I’m not going to use the quad pod houses, gonna buy some gourds and build a custom rack for it. My others are wood, but I might try some type of metal rod or tubing to keep the weight and wind resistance down.
Anyone care to weigh in on how many gourds they think this pole could support? It appears to be a pretty tall pole, whatever I build for a rack I’ll keep the gourds lower around that 12-13’ height.
Thanks for any thoughts and happy holidays.
