Are there optimum bend characteristics for the NITE mast and plank that are avaiable? Ex-this distance between two sawhorses and this much weight equals this much sag...??? How about the springboard?
Nite manufacturer John Ritter has given the following optimum spec using an 80# weight at the middle of the mast:
Beginning at the mounting ball and measuring towards the mast top, the maximum deflections should be 1-3/4" at 4 1/2 ft., 3" at 9 ft., and 1-1/2" at 13-1/2 ft.
