Fraid you cannot better Scaffolding poles.

We have two about twenty foot apart, 8ft high. We still have to tether them
to avoid them pulling together.
I suppose that this would be unnecessary if you used enough concrete to set
them in !

We use Canes for the intermediate uprights and very strong non- stretch rope
as a top stretcher.

I inherited a large scaff pole with the premises some twentysomething
years ago. *It's too long for the pikies to take in a white Transit
but if any one wants it, it's in my drive. *Also in west London.

If you are goung to use a pole at each end then it will help if you
sink a piece of wood 12" to 18" X 4" or 6" against the front edge of
the pole, this will help stop it pulling in towards the centre when
the ground is wet and you have a heavy crop.
