[QUOTE="aceb, post: 967350, member: 268811"] What's the plan Alex, the NPRM is going to sit on (or be fixed to) a slab? From the photos you've put up so far the NPRM will need a lot of pavers on top of each other if it's only 2x2 slabs and if you are in soft ground you should be going quite deep with the base. We take a battering up here from the SW gales and last winter with all the rain we ended up replacing the front fence. Not because it had broken up but all the posts that were held in with two bags of postmix had been blown over as the saturated ground couldn't hold them firm in the holes and that's on chalky soil. If it can do that with a 3ft high fence imagine the force a 1.8M dish is going to have. Mine is held down with three M18 studs and each one is in about 450Kg of concrete which is about a 60cm cube. A single ground post under the dish would want a lot more than that. [/QUOTE]
