Holding a pole up with only one cable?

Commander Kinsey · 2019-03-10T13:44:50+00:00

My neighbour has a tall chimney (for a wood burning stove) with a supporting cable, but only one. Obviously the wind doesn't always come from that direction (in fact the cable is to the SE of the chimney, and the prevailing wind here is SW). Same thing is observed on telephone poles. Any explanation? Is the pole put in at a bit of an angle so it's always leaning one way?

I think it's a DIY job. Everything else he does is, and to the cheapest/easiest specs possible.
