[QUOTE="timo_w2s, post: 889174, member: 196043"] Looking forward to seeing photos of that project one day! It is tempting but trying to avoid spending too much extra on this. I've drilled holes in the ice for fishing but I think I'll try the back breaking method first. I've got all summer to come up with something even if I'm just using a trowel at arms length at the bottom. ;) Thanks, a visit to B&Q it is. The text editor seems fine for me. While I want to make a decent job of this, chances are it'll only be used for a few years. Not sure how much longer I'll be living at the present UK address and so this doesn't need to last a lifetime and a bit of fine tuning is not a problem. I've had plenty of dishes on semi-permanent "temporary" mounts in the past that needed adjusting every now and then. I'm hoping the ground won't be freezing too much in the UK in this sheltered spot under large trees and there's minimal wind as the dish sides and front are all surrounded by 1.7m high fences and a garden shed. Even behind the dish it is quite closed in with bushes and the house not too far away. Thanks for all the comments so far, it's been very helpful. This has given me something think about and I'm getting a clearer idea on what to expect and what needs to be done. [/QUOTE]
