Depends how tall you are / how deep a bucket you're using! Reckon 24" adjustable storm poles are probs about right . . .

I'd go 3ft extending if your 6ft tall. Not all pegs are big enough for it to stand on flat ground. So if stood to one side on a slope you may need a lot of extra reach on 2 of them.

I guess it depends how tall you are and what you're putting the station on. I'd start by measuring the comfortable height of your hand when reaching to the bottom of the bucket without bending too much. Then I'd allow some margin/extra for whatever you think you may need if say standing in water where it's a good idea to push the sticks in a bit, or on uneven ground 👍

I use them cheapo aluminium looking Dinsmore sticks, extendable. Think they're about 2'6", extending to 5'.
Are you sure?
