[QUOTE="archive10, post: 1010685"] Great installation! You can go a long way with just some instant concrete and a spade, as you seem to have found out! Not quite sure why it sways - If you have 1m deep by about 50 cm across, you've got about 300 kg of concrete fixed to the pole. That should be quite solid. Perhaps the soil is really loose, has it been dug recently? How high is the pole? if you've 1m in the ground, and 2m above, you will of course exerience some lever-action, but still... I agree; if you can live with the trip-hazard, a good way to fix the pole is probably with wires to something solid (such as buried conrete postholders, or even ground spits hammered in, and fitted with a concrete crown to fix it sideways movement). Looking forward to the full camouflage and reception report! :) A gentle suggestion: Pls next time upload pics to the forum instead of linking to external sites. [/QUOTE]
