I made one recently for my 42" lighted pure sign It turned out great. Ran the wire inside to hide it.

1" black pipe easier to bend, It is 13' tall because it is inside. I have a wall that comes out at a right angle to the long wall and I made special brackets to hold the pole up.

I wouldn't use 1" pipe. A 42" sign would trap to much wind. 1" pipe cannot support that kind of wind load. Structurally that pipe will fatigue and fail. Wouldn't want to be near that 42" sign when a gust of wind launches it, and chunks/pieces of 1" pipe.
