On top of the PVC pipe, i put a galvanized coupler, then a galvanized extension, 6" i think, then the top coupler that the main pole goes into. The top coupler is about at ground level, then when the tree comes down, i will add anti-seize and a galvanized threaded plug. I do have a guy wire attached, and my tree is about 20'.
