Linking two of the tubes together is pretty simple. You can actually use part of one of the tubes (unless you really need all 20'). I cut about 2 1/2' off one of the tubes and sliced it open so that i could fit it over the joined tube ends. I taped the join piece and now our pole vault tube looks like a giant earthworm.
What did you do to get better today?

I just want to say that the plasic corrigated tubing is great protection for your poles. I once lost a whole set of 6 five meter poles off the side of my car going 80 mph. It took me 2 hours to find them in the dark. LOL. Not one pole was ruined. I was amazed.
