[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1130208, member: 178786"] [USER=409249]@gap30[/USER] Agreed, "Manik" has done a very nice job with his 1.8m install. As you have a plan to surround the surface raised concrete pad with some type of screening there would seem to be no reason not to go ahead with the concrete pad. Once you have the pad built you can decide what type of pole/stand you are going to use. Depending on the depth and area of the concrete pad you might wish to consider using a reinforcing metal frame in the ground that the concrete is poured into. For a smallish pad that does not have much surface area and depth I would say this is not required and might be a "nice to have" luxury. If you do use a metal frame and you use chemical resin fixed studs to secure the stand/pole, make sure the metal frame will not foul drilling points on the pad for the studs.. I have attached a few pictures below that show some of the stages when the concrete pad was made for the Prodelin 2.4m dish install I illustrated earlier. .
