[QUOTE="Offtensive, post: 1129813, member: 416667"] I have done some prelim analysis using the information from here [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/my-channel-master-1-8-project.180003/post-1123712[/URL] Here are my rough, pre-coffee calculations from this morning For a Zone 1 dish: Area circa 2.02 cu ft (54 * 43 * pi/4 / 900) Wind load for 80mph wind: 33.2lb (2.02 * 16.38) Concrete required: 0.22 cu ft (33.2 / 175 * 1.17) So if my pole is 4 feet above ground, 2 feet below ground, implies I would need a hole roughly 4" x 4" x 2 ft For a Zone 2 dish: Area circa 3.71 cu ft (76 * 56 * pi/4 / 900) Wind load for 80mph wind: 60.8lb (3.71 * 16.38) Concrete required: 0.40 cu ft (33.2 / 175 * 1.17) So if my pole is 4 feet above ground, 2 feet below ground, implies I would need a hole roughly 5.5" x 5.5" x 2 ft At the other extreme, for a Toroidal T90 dish or a similar size 1m dish Area circa 11 cu ft Wind load for 80mph wind: 180lb Concrete required: 1.2 cu ft (180 / 175 * 1.17) Again, pole 4 ft above ground, 2ft below ground, implies a hole of 9" x 9" x 2ft But for something like a toroidal dish, would I need to consider other factors as the dish is front heavy [/QUOTE]
