[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1113831, member: 176704"] Can't remember what pole you had chosen but it would need to be wider diameter than would be adequate for a Zone 1 dish and would need to fixed in the ground as discussed earlier - but here's maybe another option!: - Fix 3x [U]horizontal [/U]battens between the corner fence post that we can and the one out of the picture to the left - vertically spaced out by around 2ft - Fix a thicker [U]vertical[/U] batten to those at the point where the thin slab currently is and screw that through the horizontal battens, and possibly into the fence into the horizontal braces on the other side like the panel on the righthand side - bolt the dish mount to the vertical batten - preferably at the height where the fence panel on the left has the centre horizontal brace like the panel on the righhand side. If the dish looks a bit lik sagging then a simple brace from below the dish mount to a concrete slab placed on the ground below would provide any additional support necessary (i.e. no hole necessary) PS: Get a decent 80cm dish as it's not worth bothering with a conventional 60cm-70cm dish because those are hardly bigger than a Zone 1 or Zone 2 dish (and certainly try to avoid a TRIAX or similar dish for the reasons pointed out earlier!)
