Have I discarded the wood option prematurely. Maybe. :c)

Get a broken hockey stick -- lots around hockey rinks. They are hard
as nails and work great. I have also used them as yardarms on towers with
pulleys and they have lasted for many years in every kind of weather.

I think you should consider wood if you properly 'weatherize' it. Not
sure of which plastic is used, but there are plastic 2x2 posts used to
support newly planted trees that may fit the bill also, check your
local Lowe's/Home Depot/Nursery to see what they have.

Good luck,
Howard
