Have found joints for joining two scaffold poles together, I have two ten foot steel poles, tried to add a pic,my phone won't allow it, are the joiner strong enough, I noticed there's a inner one and a external one, any body used one of these..

Hard to say with no photo, I have ever wanted to extend a mast in that method, depends on what antenna you put on the mast, and what you use to fix it to the wall,and if you get strong wind gusts in your location, may be a YouTube video about scaffolding diy might help you? ,

i used 3 scaffold poles with a sigma 4 on top back in the 80s, i tried both internal an external joiners to choose from an found the external ones more secure, there was to much play in pole joints with internal ones
