Wednesday this week, I found one of my hop line supports; an aka, the really tall clothesline, snapped and fell. I assembled it with 4' threaded pipe, 4 sections 'tall' including the base and 2 across- I think the cross pieces may be shorter. Either way. Fortunately for me, only a few hops left to harvest this year. Today was the planned harvest.

This morning, the other end snapped in exactly the same spot. Both bases sheared on the threads, leaving a piece of the threads in the coupler. I believe I got 2-3 seasons out of them, I may need to rethink this.

I got what looks like another ounce or so of hops, so I'll dry and freeze for next year.

Guy wires or ropes will relieve the stress. The threads are stress concentrators, typical failure mode of pipe in bending.
