Second, I do split mine into a couple sections and it's much simpler than some of the earlier posts... Its electrical conduit, it's made to be threaded! You can thread it, or they will cut and thread it for free at home depot... You can do the same with the legs as well. Pic included, the sleeve that threads the two pieces together came with the conduit, one sleeve for each chunk of conduit. They can be purchased separately as well.
I tried this but I think I have the wrong conduit for the ridge pole...mine is far too thing to be threaded. I want some more length so I will see if I can find the Rigid kind and thread 3 pieces to give me 13 feet or so.
