Excellent to see you finally got it working, ( just been reading the other thread)

For a motor, you will need to make sure it's vertical, and not wobbly as well.

My System: 43cm Dish, Sky Plus v2, Thomson DSI4214, FRACARRO PENTA 85cm, Invacom Twin, Moteck SG2100a H-H DiSEqC Motor, TF5000CI, TM-5200D, Sling Media, Rover Discovery ST-4, Rover SDM-1s, 57E to 58W, Tecatel 1.35m fixed on 28e, Pace D5430-N

Nice set up, however I wouldn't attempt to install a motor on the pole. I'd find myself looking at the weather forecast daily in case of severe wind

The mast needs to be more supported for a motor system.

Enjoy 1W

Which way does the cable run? Along the fence or up to the garage?

My System: 75e-75w C & KU, 36v diseqc Anlg to HD Channel Master C120 dishes, stbs, lnbs, motors, too much to list

Glad you got it sorted !

Looks good...

I couldn't believe what a patio mount can cost at a certain online sat shop with that level of solidness providing it's bolted together and bolted down...

Price up one or more 3' x 2' paving slabs (really not that dear) and some (free) hardcore for underneath... try water to weigh it down....... in a large plastic plant tub

If you put it along the fence you could bang a couple of 4 foot fence posts into the ground by the fence and bolt the pole to that - Ive got a couple set up like that and it works fine
