How to make my antenna pole stiff & sturdy?

Installed Channel Master 4220MHD antenna due WEST.
All the channels are coming in CLEAR with no problems.

However looking for solutions in order how to make my antenna pole stiff & sturdy?
Currently using an 3 inch thick (4 ft above ground )PVC pipe dug in (2 ft in ground) my front yard. However when its windy I start getting black outs.

Any suggestion what to use to mount my front yard antenna which could stand winds up to 10 to 20 miles per hour ?

Thanks for your help in advance.

You should have the C2 Complete or the C2 with Antenna Direct's VHF dipole retrofitted. Also, the C2 has has a wide gain pattern. You have many strong signals to the east. You also have receivable but weaker signals to the northwest and southeast. It appears that you optimal direction is to or about due west. The strong signals to the east will come in through the back of your antenna. You may have enough gain to the southwest and northwest to pick those signals. You may experiment with either the C4 or C2 pointed due west.
