EZ Up 40 Pole or ROHN 5' sections to get 25-30'

[CB590]

Debating on the EZ Up Pole that is 18ga sections with 16ga top section for $153 shipped. Or ROHN 5' sections that are 16ga for $121 shipped for 5??

I currently have 2 top rail sections (17ga or so) with 4 (3 shown in pic with one down lower) of the 4" wall brackets and a coupling holding it together to my outside wall.

The top most 10' has about 9' above the top 4" bracket. And I can't really get a bracket on that second eve as shown in the pic. I might be able to use the old telco eye bolt up near the second eve for a couple black zip ties.

New antenna is the Sirio 2016 weight of about 11# and the old antenna is A99 weight of 4-5# or so.

New antenna has some radials so I was thinking an extra 5' of height.

Other option is to slide a piece of top rail in at bottom and raise it by 3-4 ft that way. So coupler is not disturbed either.

Oh. That may work. But I don't have a 10/20' ladder. Only a 6'. Hence the fun.

I had to plant the top 10' and antenna as one unit into the bottom 10' section. Fun fun.

and should I just slide a 3-5' top rail under the whole thing and just re-clamp? Or get a whole new mast??

Rent a 20' ladder?

Rent a 20' ladder?

well HD has a 10/20 ladder rated for 250lbs for $130. Which if I just add 5' for free as I have a piece of top rail here and just fab or use a bracket on the higher side to hook to the mast up at 20' mark I should be good. And I gain a ladder.

Years ago I used a 40 ft Ladder For a Tower Looked odd .But It worked great on a Moon Racker 4
