[QUOTE="zigmund, post: 651360, member: 175297"] I'm in a high wind area, sorted the problem with a patio mount. Everything now easy to get at. Shielded by fencing on both sides. Shorter co-ax feeder. Could also be hidden by small evergreen bushes either side. One big plus is that I have put a twin-walled sun shield covering the LNB. Provides sun and water shielding, LNB even on the hottest of days rises only slightly above ambient. Before it used to get too hot to touch, and there used to be water in the co-ax problems. Shield is two large thin walled plastic flower pots, with a spacer to provide twin-wall, mounted on a supporting post. LNB being offset is not directly in the beam, plastic is RF transparent anyway, so no loss of signal strength. Yesterday had gusting to 70 mph. No problem, signal strength bargraph still full house.
