I was thinking about building an LPD antenna and purchased some Strongwell 2" square fiberglass tubing about 7 years ago. I never finished the project and the tubing has been kicking around the yard in the AZ sun since then. I see no signs of degradation and it had no treatment whatsoever.

Contrast that to the fiberglass military mast sections that turn to hazardous waste in a year or so.

Hi folks,

Does anyone have first hand experience to share? What can I expect from primed 
and painted UV resistant fiberglass?

Thanks!
