Homemade Paracord Mast Guyline Attachment Ring

A homemade mast supporting system I came up with, using paracord, 4 carabiners and a rubber grommet.

I made this ring using 550 paracord, fashioned using a cobra stitch method. The 4 carabiners were then clipped into a loop of the paracord. This ring is then slid over the 6m fibreglass telescopic roach pole, where guy lines can then be attached and pegged out to secure the mast.

I use a large rubber grommet to also slip over the roach pole, which stops the paracord ring slipping down the pole under tension.

The inclusion of guy line tensioners, just gives the setup a bit of "give" and "movement" under strong windy conditions.

This setup is very easy to erect (under 5mins), allows quick mast/antenna adjustments and holds the mast very secure in strong winds or where a convenient fence post is not available.
