Per Ralph Mowery:
How tall (far off the ground ) is this antenna ?

Also how far above the roof of the bulding is it ?

14', which puts it 3' above the roof of the garden shed.

I am pretty sure that will work, because my breadboard implementation
has the antenna attached to an 11' pruning pole with the antenna just an
inch or so off the roof.

Just about anything should hold it up. I have had some ham antennas up
without much suport. One was about that size and all I had was a pipe about
1 foot in the ground It stuck up about 4 feet and the main mast went down
into that pipe. At the top of the house was a metal strap about 2 inches
wide and a lag bolt on each side of that strap.

Sometimes you can over think things.
