That might have been me saying that. Basically I meant using any size up to 3 inch to fit over the existing one then build it up from there.

Even though you have an eave bracket, that isn't completely solid. I use one of those myself. The point is reduce weight as you go higher and have the second section attached to the eave bracket so it will be less stress on it. The 3rd section will be the lightest but will balance out with antenna weight and wind loading.

Your friend probably will have good knowledge of construction material and where to buy it.

As I said at first, see if you can get T1061 aluminum pipe. These are sold in many different diameters compared to galvanized plumbing pipe.
