I have the 26m pole top loaded for 160m, which also supports a 17m
vertical section for a 80m Inv-L. Strong winds here as well, but never
problems the last 6 years.

I’ve got multiple (4)Spiderbeam fiberglass poles up to 60’ tall. With proper guying,
I’ve never had a failure. I also find the poles to be very well balanced. I was able to erect a
60’ pole to make a top loaded 160 meter antenna by myself. I think they are a great product.
Proper buying is required, of course.

We installed an 18 meter Spider Pole at ET3AA, which supports a wire
Inverted L for 80 and 160. It blows around pretty good at times.
While I don't discount Jim's experience, it's been up for 2 plus years
and is still going strong.

Their fiberglass is not to be trusted structurally. I speak from experience.
