The Mast is the purpose-built telescoping steel pole for Birds Choice Purple Martin houses, extending to a full 12.5 feet of working height on a 1.9\" diameter base section built from heavy duty 16-gauge galvanized steel tubing. A 24-inch ground sleeve anchors the system with permanent, concrete-set stability — the foundation a fully occupied multi-floor martin house demands. Two safety bolts lock the telescoping sections at working height, and all hardware required for complete installation is included. If you've invested in a Colony Condo, The Mast is the pole it was built for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eScientific Engineering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e16-Gauge Galvanized Steel Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavy duty 16-gauge galvanized steel tubing provides the structural rigidity and corrosion resistance required to support a fully occupied multi-floor Purple Martin house across decades of outdoor exposure in variable weather conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Telescoping Extension:\u003c\/strong\u003e The pole fully extends to 12.5 feet of working height — within the optimal 10-20 foot range for Purple Martin colony establishment and predator avoidance — with a 1.9\" diameter base section and 1.25\" diameter top section that tapers for secure house mounting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual Safety Bolt Locking System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two safety bolts lock the telescoping sections securely at working height, preventing unintended collapse during active colony season and maintaining stable house positioning throughout the breeding period.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e24\" Concrete-Set Ground Sleeve:\u003c\/strong\u003e The included 24-inch ground sleeve is designed to be cemented permanently into the ground, providing maximum structural stability and resistance to wind load for a fully occupied martin house — the foundation standard for serious colony infrastructure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete Hardware Package:\u003c\/strong\u003e All hardware required for full installation is included — 2 safety bolts, 1 base plate bolt, 3 nylon lock nuts, 2 T-nuts, 2 thumb screws, and 1 ground sleeve stop bolt and nut.
