[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1075564, member: 176704"] Just the weight of a 1.1m TD110 (I have one) will probably pull those screws out pretty quickly without much wind hitting it (I would have used M8 bolts. penny washers & nuts - not screws!) - I've got my TD110 3m up a 50mm steel scaffolding pole concreted into the ground, and it bent that only slightly but that was enough that I had to fit a very stiff steel brace across to the side of the adjacent garage to push it back up vertical, so that Channel Hopper could then align the motor and dish arc properly! (Frankly, that dish was too heavy for me to lift very far, and certainly to manoeuvre/set-up properly at my age :oops:) IMHO, you'd have been better off using a substantial and solidly bolted-down or weighted-down ground mount of some sort. However, if you can't do that then I suggest adding a substantial brace between the top of that "J" mast to the fence, or preferably something solid behind that, to try to stop it bending/moving [/QUOTE]
