Simple engineering question, Tapio...
A mathematical model of the single post system and the stresses involved is quite enlightening. The tube in most designs out there is in compression and tension at the same time. The best method is for the tube to be in compression only. Additionally the compression loads at top and bottom of the tube should be as equal as possible to minimize points of failure.
