For an upcoming show, the LD is interested in having a few booms that are 25-30' tall. We discussed the issue that pipe only comes in lengths up to 21', but before I flat out turn him down, I wanted to see if there was actually any way to get longer pipe. Can you special order pipe in longer lengths, or is there a method you've used in the past for joining two lengths of pipe to create one longer vertical position? This is still very early in the process, and using vertical sticks of truss or a boom/ladder/taildown combination are all on the table, but before we go down that road, I just wanted to see if there was any way to actually make this a traditional boom.
Any thoughts?
