The HD versions are extremely robust poles, with significantly thicker walls (up to 2mm!) than common "fishing rods".
Stronger joints have also been achieved by significantly increasing the overlap between the individual tube segments. Incidentally, all fiberglass poles can be shortened by any number of segments (simply remove the bottom and remove unneeded segments) to achieve the required length.
Due to the 14m version’s larger diameter at the bottom, wire antennas such as the Aerial-51 807 or 404 can be installed even higher on this pole than on the 12m pole.
The best wire to use with this pole for most portable operations is an insulated, stranded copper-weld wire which is is thin, lightweight, yet very robust.
Spiderbeam’s 1mm Kevlar guy rope (alternative: Spiderbeam’s PVDF Monofil Line) is perfect for guying the wire antennas. For heavier-duty applications, use our “PolyStealth-18” wire and 2mm Kevlar guy rope.
For installations of longer duration, we recommend using the optional clamp set for securing the pole’s segments.
We also recommend our 2 guy belts (straps) for guying and tensioning. These absorb the wind forces perfectly and protect the fiberglass material. When braced at 2 levels and secured with clamps, this 14m HD pole can be erected outside for months, or even many years without worry.
