[QUOTE="archive10, post: 957368"] The only pole I have concreted into the ground is in Sweden, and I *didn't* fill this with concrete after putting it up. Have been wondering ever since... Nevertheless it is fully galvanised, so even if rain did get past the Channel Master mount head, it would probably make no difference. [ATTACH]89514[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]89515[/ATTACH] I hope to soon be remounting some dishes here in frosty old Denmark (probably when spring comes!) and one of them may be mounted on a 3" pole that will be firmly attached to a a wall using T/K brackets (which BTW are impossible to come by in DK - will have to order in UK). One of these is going to be an above gutter job on a 3m pole, but I reckon 2xK + 1xT will do the job. This will most likely be resting on the ground in a concrete "foot", but not actually concreted into the ground (I hate digging, especially next to lovely and very expensive foundations of my newly built terrace + garden house). So I was wondering what the purpose of the concrete-in-the-tube was - but seeing the answers above, I think rigidity is as much a part of it as the moisture-avoidance... :) TBH I was not thinking of filling a purely wall-mounted pipe with concrete. That would be overdoing it, I think ;) [/QUOTE]
