[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1002748, member: 176704"] Another obvious reason for ground-mounting, if you can, is that a large dish is heavy and unwieldy to handle (a 90cm dish is bad enough) - especially up a ladder as you probably have to hang on to that, hold the heavy dish up to the support pole AND assemble and tighten the clamps, all at the same time (that takes 3 hands, but most of us have only 2;)). OTOH, on the ground, you have more personal stability and freedom of movement, and you might even be able to get someone to help you with the job. [/QUOTE]
