A mast is the vertical tubing that supports the antenna and is used in every installation. The purpose of the mast is to simply hold and stabilize the antenna, while the mount holds the mast which is installed in the desired location, usually on a rooftop. A few things to consider when choosing a mast are the height, weight, and size of the antenna being installed and also the relative wind conditions in the area. If your geographical area has consistent heavy winds, consider leveraging your antenna setup with premium Channel MasterGuy Wire.
All Channel Master mast units are constructed with high quality 16 gauge galvanized steel, which gives Channel Master mast units superior durability and useful life. Channel Master conventional super mast units wield "Dura Tube" which grants lasting rust resistance, and are available in 5and10foot segments.
If a larger mast unit is needed, the Channel Master galvanized steel telescoping mast is a perfect option, which comes in four lengths,20,30,40,and50foot segments. The telescoping mast comes in 10' segments which interconnect via smaller diameter ends. The Channel Master telescoping mast units are producted using high tensile steel tubing with a powder coat finish, making them tough, weather protected, and 50% stronger than high carbon steel masting of the same diameter.
