Can you use a telephone pole?

That would be perfect, but so far I’ve whiffed on finding one. Gonna look into a few of the sourcing suggestion that others made though. I even have a huge lumber yard near me that said ‘we do not have that product’ when I asked for the 12” pole. Not sure I believe that.

You can probably find a heavy walled steel pipe that would do the trick. Anything 8” diameter or bigger would work

2 or 3 2x12s laminated together and then oriented along the zipline path will be just as strong as a single 12" round pole.
