[QUOTE="Offtensive, post: 1129771, member: 416667"] I am going to be digging up the garden over the next few days, and I am tempted to install a pole for a new dish whilst I am at it. I will either be install 2 Zone 2 or 80cm dishes, or a 1.1m dish instead. The dish (or dishes) will be fixed, with a 4 to 5 Lnbs total. The dishes will be circa 5 feet above the ground and about 6 to 12 inches in front of the garden fence. Would an aluminium pole and one or two bags of postcrete be suitable for this? My main concerns are if the aluminium pole shatters in the wind and the weight of the dish causing the pole to eventually move. My other option is to use a fence post. I assume this would be stronger than the aluminium pole, but if this could eventually move with the weight. A scaffold pole may be an option instead of an aluminium pole, but I will need to see if I can source one locally big enough. Also, I assume I would need to use more postcrete with this given the weight of the pole? Thanks [/QUOTE]
