I use a pipe stand, as pictured in Derek Hansen ultimate hang, works very well indeed

Thanks for all your replies, will get cracking on it during our third lockdown which is on at the moment
Thanks, thats sounds great with the 1x25mm and 3 x 22mm I diid try the 22mm inside the 25mm at the merchants and it was a good non sloppy fit, perfect,the reason I was going to use 22mm inside 25mm...
Okay brilliant, thanks for getting back to me, i am going to go DIY on this to see how I get on, i have 22mm class 4 and 25mm class 4 1.2mm walled galvanised conduit, bit like your EMT, I shall slide...
I like the idea of diy Tensa stand with stainless rope instead of Amsteel etc because of possible wear issues, what size stainless rope were you using 4mm or 6mm to connect legs together
David

I think both ways have there uses, and no I dont worry about guy lines,you could unclip them from side pullouts if you wanted to and keep them separate,i dont always use them as I have centre pole...
Way better to raise up the tie-out like in the Warbonnet video

Dave
Good morning
