> The uprights are 5" drill stem ( 4141 -5/8" wall pipe) and strung together
> with 3/4" double improved plow steel wire rope. The drill stem is anchored
> in 3" of reinforced concrete 6' deep.
> Have had (4) 95' pine trees blown down on it, with minimal roof damage.
> The trunks, when they hit the wire rope, stop dead
