several feet of pole with an

could be epoxied in to connect the pole with it's extension. Welding might
be a better solution than epoxy.


Welding must be followed by a zinc-rich paint to avoid rusting. Epoxy
wouls eliminate that step. HTH


Welding galvanized steel creates toxic fumes. Don't want to
try if you're a beginner.
