If you are going to attach it to the house at the top, it will work if you use bigger mast pipe. In order to get away from guy wires, you will need something like 2 inch galvanized water pipe. Dig a 1 foot hole to put the bottom in so it doesn't kick out. Then a pipe reducer at the top with a short section of pipe that will fit the antenna.

In my opinion, push up poles are temporary. Fence top rail is not thick enough and will always need guy wires. Do it once and do it right so you never have to worry about it again.

I used 2 inch water pipe for mine, and while the application is a little different, the concept is the same.
