Telescoping Mast
The mast is made of aluminum and collapses to as manageable height while extending to 25 feet, the base and mounts are plastic and the mounts use double faced tape, I recommend screws for added strength, the wind rating is low, only 35MPH and the mast should be lowered or it may bend. Some photos show chrome rings and others black, My mast had black. I would not leave it up in a storm or high winds but I use my hast for HAM radio, for field days it is perfect!
