I'm picturing half inch conduit which is incredibly weak ....
I suppose some 1" conduit might work, isn't it coated with galvanizing stuff? so that might be nice.
Still I would think it would be weak.
Also only 10' off the ground? perhaps that's the max height for its strength?
Let's see these plans.
I think I'll just shell out the cash for quality ladder stands, have been burned too many time with cheap "deals" I thought I had found.
