My System: Mostly gathering dust cos I'm a lazy git. Porty dish face blew off the mount, not too pleased... The Sleepy Hollow pollracle has spoken! |
Cos I want to rebuild my groundstand for my 1m Channel Master dish in my yard!!!  The sandblasting and repointing is done, so it should be safe to put my dish outside, well, once I get the new security light up, but the groundstand needs to be levelled up before I put my dish on it as the ground, to say the least, is as straight as a ladyboy!!! But, in the shed (in which I found my inflateable boat!!!) there's what looks like some old stone rooftile bits, so I can use those to make a nice level(ish) platform of somesort...

The Sleepy Hollow pollracle has spoken! | Sod's law it would be throwing it down with rain since I wanted to actually put my dish up outside!!!  I'm just glad I live on a valley though as the recent rain has flooded the nearby town of Earby!!!  I have put my dish together indoors though, just to make sure I remember how to do it...

My System: 1.2m CM, 36v Positioner, DB7020Si. Diablo, CAS3+ | Depends on the ground mount tbh, but normally cement or as i used postmix. Drill some holes into the postmix for the huge bolts to bolt the stand solid. (SDS drill is required though) YMMV though PJ | ||

My ground stand came with 8x patio paving slabs to weight it down, might get some extra weight on it (sand bags or gravel bags) seeing how the weather's becoming more and more volatile and I don't want to lose my £45 bargain!!!

As long as the ground is reasonably flat, you then adjust the patio/mount. | |||

 I ain't paying the fine for damaging them!!!  My dish won't be motorised, looks too bloody complicated to on the back of the dish, it does have fine AZ/EL adjustment bolts though...

The Sleepy Hollow pollracle has spoken! | You know, yesterday I sat my BSB minidish next to it and looked at it and thought to myself: "Hmm, an all-Channel Master Fibo-type dish..." I wonder......
