[HoustonHam] NEED a dipole support pole

the Center Point utility service pole between my house and my
neighbor's is falling over into my driveway.  that is an inconvenience.

the major problem is that I have been using the 35' service pole in
the easement along the NORTH line of my property which feeds that 
falling over pole, as a support for two antennas.. a DXCC and a 140' 
Cobra Sr.   A complaint about the house service pole  got me a warning 
that I had to remove my support lines with pullies and all from that 
main supply pole.

that Cobra antenna runs across the top of my house from the neighbor's 
50' tree top on my SouWest to the backside of the end-of-run pole on 
the NE side of my property.

That is the support pole I have to replace.

Does anyone have an excess 2 - 3"dia 40' pipe or a really stiff steel
pole that will tolerate about 200lbs pull on its end???

as inexpensive as possible...

please advise....  could use this tomorrow...
