You might need bigger U-Bolts. That pipe looks rather larger in diameter. I would consider getting a length of antenna mast to get the antenna up higher. Getting it up higher than the local home roof peaks would be the minimum I would recommend.
Don't be tempered to use stuff like water pipe, fence pipe etc. All of those are soft and will bend easily in a modest wind. Antenna mast is manufactured using higher strength material.

Thank you!! Do you have any ideas for antennas that don't need guy lines or don't need a lot that take up a lot of space. May yard isn't that big, 70ft wide. plus I have 2 younger kids that like to play in the back yard as well. All ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like you’ll have no problem clamping a good length of mast to that pipe.
@LscottSo just get some U-Bolts and connect it like that. I thought about buying a 10ft mast and connecting to it and adding an antenna like this one. What are your thoughts on that.

@KAF6045 Yes this is very well seated in the ground with a lot of concrete.

@Lscott Yes Sorry about that. There is also a 20ft tree right behind this pole in my neighbors yard about 50ft from this pole.

I have an old Birdview satellite pole from the 1980's in my yard and was wondering if this could be used to connect mast to or what could I use this for to get a good antenna up. Planning on getting a GMRS mobile and using as a base station and later getting my ham license. Could this be used for anything such as that. Thank you in advance for your help.
Antenna Mast question

Can these type of mast be used on side of houses or sheds and attach the GMRS antenna to it. Or can I use a (Rohn - 36ft Telescoping Mast for Radio Cellular WiFi and TV Antennas (H40)) against my shed and bracket it up.
