By the way the city told us it had to be metal, not wood. They said
wood is too dangerous for a 2,700lbs siren that rotates. They said it
had been done in the past before, and had worked, but it was just one
of those things where they said that we have to use metal to get city
approval. They said wood splinters, and has been known to fail before.
So a wooden pole would be simple, I agree, but it is just regulations
we must follow.
