[QUOTE="Captain Jack, post: 847217, member: 243342"] Thanks Martin - looks good! Due to it being a rental property, to avoid digging holes I am currently veering towards using my heavy duty tripod stand with a couple of kerb stones at 40kg each on each of the three legs - should hold the dish down. Still don't know how high it has to go to get over the house but I do have a decent western view of the sky beyond 30W, even from ground level, so looking forward for some C band hunting that way. As the pole is 3 inches in diameter, I was thinking of sticking a 2 inch scaffold pole inside and hold it with some exhaust reducers for more stability. Already had the stand sandblasted and primed so it's ready for painting and putting up! [/QUOTE]
