[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1121807, member: 178786"] A pallet is handy as a starting point for a mobile platform that can be located to different areas around a property to maximise line of sight opportunities. For a fixed location I prefer concrete kerb stones as anchorage subject to them being sufficient weight for the dish size. I currently have a 1.5m Prime Focus dish mounted on a stand that is anchored down to three concrete kerb stones of the type in the link below. It has not moved out of alignment since being installed. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.travisperkins.co.uk/kerbs/marshalls-british-standard-bull-nosed-concrete-kerb-125mm-x-150mm-x-915mm/p/753034[/URL] Conrete blocks are less weight than the kerb stones I linked to above but I supose you could use four of them strategically placed, one per hole for the base of your stand and then stack a few more on top. From personal experience concrete blocks are easier to drill for bolt holes as they are compressed aggregate. To secure the ground stand base plate to the anchorage you can use either anchor bolts or threaded studs with resin. For either method you need to get the residual dust out of the holes, especially if using the resin method. [/QUOTE]
