Default Stacking beams

Hi, i am going in a VHF/UHF contest this weekend and have a question about
stacking beams.
We will have a pole approx 15-20ft long and want to stack the following
antennas,

1x20 element UHF yagi
1x10 element 2 Metre Yagi
1x5 element 6 Metre Yagi.

UHF yagi is approx 6-8ft long
VHF is approx 6ft long
6M is approx 17ft long

They are all horisontally mounted. I am guessing it will be UHF at top, then
2 mtr then 6 mtr.
What i would like to know is if this pole is long enough to space them
vertically enough or not.
If so, what distance should they be?

Thanks

Gary
