[QUOTE="Happy-Buddah, post: 99454"] I dropped a 3m scaffold pole 1m into the ground at the side of my conservatory. Light weight tie to the corner of the conservatory, just to hold the pole true whilst the concrete set. I used 5 bags of "post set" and any old bit of metal and broken bricks that I could find. I've had 85cm, 98cm, 1m and 1.25m dishes on it at times, all motorised, and it is still true vertical. I run 10m cable through a co-ax switch with no problems from the motor to the receiver. The dish is mounted on the pole so that I can just walk under it without knocking my head on the lowest point. I can see from 53* east to 58* west, houses and trees outside those limits. There are some tripod mounts available from some of the suppliers if you wanted to get lower to the ground but then you have to be concerned about the height of hedges, fences etc blocking signals.
