[QUOTE="DishDick, post: 674219, member: 216974"] Hi Guys, Thanks for the support. Ralphmango, I did consider taking photos of the dish were it fell for this sight, but to be honest I was too gutted and more worried about making sure it was taken down to make safe, (was hanging over side of house). The concrete base came up complete. It was well made and I followed the local "experts" advice about base size. The metal base is ok but the manufacturer now makes a much more substantial one that is more stable so would rather have that than modify old one. The wind speed it is hard to guess, tv is talking of 120km plus. We had some real gusts. Very scary! I am really worried about putting the dish back up and wont be rushing in to it. I care more about having a safe installation than having a satellite dish. I couldn´t live with myself if someone got injured or worse by my dish. I need to be sure that next time the installation can handle anything that is thrown at it. Next time I might not be here to take dish down and I want to know its safe for complete dish (after seeing what half a dish did!). [/QUOTE]
