Fiberglass poles tend to lean over some.. This may or may not be a problem for you.. I use an aluminum pole from Sunsetter, not nearly as flexible. This too can cause problems,, But it's got a decent wind load rating (FLAG pole after all)

I have seen, not telescoping but 'Stackable' poles at ham fests for pocket change.. these usually come in 8' sections and you can buy as many as you wish from the dealer, 16', 24' 32' 40' you do have to guy them less you use a weighted base (park on) they sell those too.
