4 to 5 feet is awfully close, so I would urge you to get them as far apart
as possible.

Mine runs about that far from my vertical and the vertical was there before
the dipole, I can't say I noticed any difference at all. In fact mine might
be closer, more like 3 feet. As long as they don't touch, where the dipole
is horizontal and vertical is, well, vertical, it shouldn't be any problem.
Like I said, I don't have any problem here, I know others who have done the
same thing and not had any problem.
