I want to put up an external vertical (15 foot high) antenna mast that I can occasionally rotate 90 degrees from the Y axis to the X axis, so that when a hurricane blows through my state I can rotate the mast to lay flat on the ground.

The gutters on my house already have a notch for a vertical ground-based mast, so when a hurricane is in-bound, the mast could be rotated and secured to the ground, parallel to my house.

Does anyone have any thoughts about the mechanism I could use on the ground to hold the mast in its usual vertical orientation, but also let it rotate?
