True statement about shipping costs if you order   Another 
option is the 4 ft. aluminum or fiberglass poles that stack 
together that are temporary supports for the military. 
Someone has already mentioned it, but it is much easier to 
put up in the air than the telescoping.

I have 44 ft that I put up by myself with the guy rings that 
has stood some very strong winds.  If you use the 
telescoping you have to get up to the top of the first 
section to lift the other 4.  That first section is 10 ft. 
up and lifting the final section is heavy.
