Step 4Long sleeves.
If you're OK with one-piece poles and you have a pickup to haul them around, then congratulations! You're finished!
Assuming that you're not, it's time to install the sleeves. Do this before you start cutting your poles into a lot of little pieces.
First, slide one of the foot-long sleeves over your new pole. Center it over where you want to cut the pole, but make sure it doesn't cover any of the holes you drilled in the last step!
Next, mark the sleeve at 1/4 and at 3/4 of its length, or at 3" from each end.
Clamp the whole arrangement down tightly and pick out a drill bit the right size for the bolts you're using.
Drill through the sleeve, right through the pole, and out the other side.
Insert the bolt through the hole and put a nut on it so that the sleeve is bolted into place.
Now pick a bit the right size for your clevis pin and repeat the drilling process.
Finally, disassemble everything and file the drilled holes. Hang in there! We're almost done!
