It's a very 'vulnerable' set-up - it really needs to be well away from people...I have the base and shade holder like the 1 in the bottom photo. It must be well over 45yrs old now. We had an electric version too, but my nephew slung it out just after Mum died, little shit. Shades were in a deep red. Beautiful when lit.
…... then hammered a nail in, to give me a bit more confidence in it.
I'm trying to be a responsible, environmentally sensitive operator - the distance may be the only thing that's saved you, so far.Told you …. old school hitman.

Last weekend....helped son to assemble his TV unit..
Before son went shopping for his at Ikea, he got the 'Ikea Place' app which let him position different ones to see how they fit . (Surprised what good quality the furniture is that he's got from there , looks good and sturdy , all the bits and bobs actually present in the boxes, and all the holes actually line up! ) Even if not buying from there, you can get an idea of what sizes would suit best.very nice , i approve
i am looking for something similar , but i will be attaching directly to my wall and having mine as a 'floating' unit .
... just need to find the correct size now.
You can actually just see the top of it in the picture of the five struts - at the bottom, the white steel tubular thingy...bet it was buried under all those logs @Gramaisc
I have considered a bit of triangulation, but it all seems very stable now - we'll see what bits I have left at the end.Maybe some corner to corner to corner inside the square struts might be in order … I'm only saying this because when I attached some supporting struts to an outside porch to support a high aerial pole I'd fastened to the side of it, I noticed a slight side to side movement in strong winds (even though I've got the pole supported by stays.) So put in some cross cut angled struts which seems to have eliminated that. It's took some stick this last month and it's still there, but I'm beginning to think the way the weather is going I might need to consult Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
(I searched my garage high and low for a step ladder that had been left out under said porch … but … I blamed a poltergeist. )
