Will try to show how to do it tommorow
Some "tricks" for "hiding" a dish that I and others have learnt over the years:
- try to position it in
front of a background of "something else" - trees, vegitation, a wall, etc, and as low as possible (ground mounting is probably best if possible). In my case, that's the 6ft+ high fence that next door neighbours had erected for "privacy reasons", and the 35ft tree in their garden next to the fence!
- If possible,, position it & the pole
behind something that prevents it being seen - in my case, that's the combination of my greenhouse & garage, and the lowish trees & trellising that prevent my other neighbours seeing the dishes
- paint the dish to blend in with the background - and somewhat randomly if the background is vegetation or a tree (many tips for doing this on the forum)
- Maybe cover it with "camouflage" netting like
this stuff which I put over both the Gibby & TD110 a couple of years ago after having reported "bed in a shed" issues with several houses very close to me, and expecting council inspectors to come & take a look at those - and maybe see my dishes at the same time! However, it seems that the council ignored those issues and never came around here - so I took the netting off the Gibby about a year ago (the netting on the TD110 stayed in place because it is the higher dish and was too much trouble to remove)
- see my
"We see no dishes" thread from a couple of years ago, and just before the "bed in a shed" issues and the netting, to get an idea of what I'm talking about!
