[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1141233, member: 369937"] What I have done in the past is to use rigid electrical conduit, a 2 or 2-1/2 inch piece for the main mast, a bell reducer for a 1-1/2 piece for the top. The rigid conduit is thick and the 2 or 2-1/2 inch will not bend, you need a hydraulic bender to do so. I mount the big piece in about a yard of concrete around 2 feet down, also with a bolt stuck through the bottom to keep it from twisting, give the concrete about 3 days to setup before working with it, you can put some concrete down the conduit to stiffen it up even more. This type of conduit has standard pipe threads so a plumbing iron pipe galvanized bell reducer will fit fine, the 1-1/2 inch piece can be cut down to what ever remaining height you need, the dish mount should fit this just fine. Here is one I did a few years ago. [ATTACH type="full"]146835[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
