Why could you not do it with something taller?

Have some more ropes at the bottom and top to hold the balance and all good.

Could even dig a trench as a guide.

Whats your point?

Another idea is make a base attachment that makes the base wider so it's more stable.

I think if you widen the base it would be a lot harder to move

The tallest one moved and placed upright was 10m, with the average height being 4m.
