Hi Bill

Tilt up is a GOOD way to go, if your pole is strong enough!

Did you know that you can get heavy guage aluminum light standards
from your local street department that have been hit by cars. Or sign
masts from local sign companies for a very fair price? (Often the
price is the price of the metal as scrap).

At my old house, I had a 45 foot tilt up light standard. I mounted it
near the eave of the house using a steel standoff to lock it to (even
though it didn't really need it). A small boat winch was mounted to
the roofing rafters and the cable fed through the facia board to the
winch.
On top of this 45 light standard, I added an additional 10 foot
section of mast tubing.
Had no trouble at all putting it up or taking it down and it needed no
guys at all.

TTUL
Gary
