[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 736242, member: 325666"] So .. Looks like I was mistaken .. Got to take some proper measurements in the cold light of day .. Having slept badly last night ..I went out to survery the damage .. The pole is 3.5 inches diameter and not 4 as I had thought.. There is 6 foot above ground ..and if memory servers there was about 2 foot below .. Difficult to measure the thickness in its current position but am estimating 3.5 to 4mm so thats my minimum requirement ... The dish is hooked up on a fence and on a small dish wall mounted behind it .. Probably what saved it from collapsing completely .. I estimate it to be a 4 man job to get it unhooked and lower it to the ground safely .. but am wondering if I can slide a short piece of scaffolding inside the 2 broken halves of pipe and set it up right temporarily so that it can be dissasembled more easily.. lowered onto its face would most likely distort the dish making it unrecoverable. the logistics of getting this apart with minimal damage is a bit frightening .. its that heavy.. rgds all VS [/QUOTE]
