We recommend that you round up on what results are given in the pole calculator example in the example provided above 118.8lbs round up to 120 lbs
thanks for the question

My 2 cents. Take it with a grain of salt.

Kris


Hello Kris I agree with your findings, your test, and your results. As I said before 20 lbs might be correct we show 17.6 lbs between the lengths as we measure in metric 15 cm I think the 20 lbs is for 12"???

I think this was worth a lot more than 2 cents
thanks for doing it!!!
You also said it better than I in the past.
