you could use the pipes as uprights for a HUGE curtain array .. Put the pipes in some sort of insulated base Then When it's set Wrap insulated Stranded wire round & round & Round 500 - 2000 feet later you'd have something of interest.. I mean, - WHY not give it a try . . ! In article , David writes: Sounds scary.

I was thinking that I could build a support by screwing together 10ft lengths of this galvanized iron pipe. Start with 1-1/2inch on the ground, use reducing couplers until I am down to 1/2inch at the top. Seems pretty strong and stiff. The wire load would be pretty minimal (we don't get ice storms very often). I could get 30-50ft really easily. Has anyone done this? TIA, Steve |
