??? PVC Flag Pole ???

[billrlogan]

Has anyone built a 20 to 30 foot flagpole out of schedule 40??? Is this possible and if so does anyone got some specifics on building one? I would appreciate any help at all here. Thanks in advance, Bill in Texas.....

It looks like a few folks are viewing this post but no one is replying to it. I really need some input on this if I can get it from ya all. I have started building this already and I am about to start working on it again. I have a bunch of 10 foot pieces of 4 inch, 3 inch and 2 inch schedule 40 PVC laying around here and plan on using it.
What I have done so far is that I have sunk a 10 foot piece of 4 inch S40 into a concrete base that is 3 foot by 3 foot wide by 4 foot deep. I have 4 foot of the 10 foot piece centered in the concrete. That is leaving me with 6 foot sticking up out of the ground/concrete.
I am planning on pounding 10 foot pieces of 4 inch, 3 inch and 2 inch PVC down inside of each other while staggering each piece a few feet apart so to make it strong and then bolting it all together. I know I am going to have to cut a small section out of the side of some of the pieces in order for them to fit inside of each other. When finished I should end up with a 25 foot pole that is the thickness of a 4, 3 and 2 inch combined piece of PVC.
Does anybody think this will work???? And if so, what size flag should I fly from it?
Any input on this will be greatly appreciated. Please help me out here with your input, PRO or CON
Thanks again, Bill in Texas.............
