I made a ten foot gin pole out of some .25 mast material and due to
specific need, added a very stout (1/4" steel) angle iron "L" at the top
so that the pull down from the top of the pole would be centered on the
tower, not at the side. Worked very nice.
On U-channel leg towers (BX etc), use a short length of pipe of a diameter
that will fit nicely into the inner part of the U-channel leg; then,
fasten on your ginpole just like u would on a round-leg tower. U can
hose-clamp the short pipe in place if you only have two hands to hold all
those parts.
