Well, a couple of weeks ago I thumped a two foot length of scaffold
pole into our orchard for the wifes washing spinner thing by simply
hitting it with a 14 lb sledge hammer. No issues and entirely
satisfactory.

Hah! but e's pole is bigger than yours by about another 5ft to 6ft.?

Correct. My pole is ~10' in its socks. I'm not wielding my big 'ammer on the
top rung of a ladder. Right next to the greenhouse too!
