Default Stand offs for ladder line

I have need to support some W7FG 600 ohm ladderline up a 20'tall, 1"
diameter steel mast.

Can anyone recommend either factory made, or home made means of
providing such support for this situation?

Thanks.

I used 6" plastic electric fence standoffs.

Cecil, How did you fasten them to the 1" dia. steel mast?

Of course, they are designed to be used with steel
pile-driven fence posts so I drilled holes and used
large UV-resistant tie-wraps to attach them to the
tower sections. It worked well.
