You need countersunk rivets so that the car will slide over the rivet heads, and using casings are a good idea.

This is how the nacra pole mounts. What diameter is your pole?

What I've seen used is Galvanized Steel Hanger Strapping over the top of the tube connected to the trailer with eye-bolts to tension the strapping.

Here's a cool tool.
