[QUOTE="timo_w2s, post: 889149, member: 196043"] I looked at some of the ground mounts suitable for a CM dish and they cost silly prices and I don't want to spend much money on this. Unfortunately I have no solid walls to fix the dish to, just the garden shed and it's pretty flimsy and not really in a good place for the dish if it is to be kept hidden (if I fixed it to the shed I'd have to have it towering above it and clearly visible from the road). I'm worried about the amount of concrete you think I'd need. I was hoping to buy a few bags and mix it myself. I can't be hiring mixers and diggers, this is taking things to another level and not really worth it for a bit more signal from 1°W (which is already watchable on my current setup!). That would be nice to drill out the holes but it's not going to work here, there are more stones than soil!! What have I let myself in for.... :eek: [/QUOTE]
