Portable satellite dish base

[archive10]

found a used pole to use as king post £30 received full go ahead from planning its not needed

Wait, let me get this straight...
Do I understand correctly that you (despite feeling the need to make the mobile platform) have applied for a PP to erect a fixed CM2.4 anyway, and got full go-ahead on it??

Did you bribe them?
Does your best mate work at the council or something?

no ive not applied for planning ive made sure its not needed before the install I would advise anyone to do the same before any installation

I know its not needed but planners can make there own rules the case below he was made to remove his tower
Inspector to decide on radio mast appeal

I did not want this happening to me so ive made sure I have in writing planning is not needed

NO ive not bribed anyone and no friends in planning just making sure my dish stays

Sorry, but , no such thing as pink steel, pink marmol , equates to granite worktop in old English.
Just my opinion !

Will be interesting to see how this will be achieved

Will be interesting to see how this will be achieved

very easy to do, this will be cut down to approximately 5ft


the king post is a nice fit over the H beam so will sleeve over the top


nuts will be welded to king post at various height bolts will lock king post in place

now for raising/lowering i have in workshop two new winch this way i use pulleys

other option in workshop is farm jack
Farm Jack , High Lift 48

How about this one:



As documented here:

Some time ago, in Texas, this 5m dish was for sale. Price was about 2k$. I was even thinking of getting it, but somehow did not.

 

[Captain Jack]

No point when you can get a dosh 40cm smaller for free!

 

[blademedia]

I had big dishes in Italy. ok for watching tv not good for hobby. climbing ladders and thousands of pounds playing with lnbs, nice to have though .

 

[blademedia]

A change of plan, instead of using these as the track

I am now using these


The concreate ones are far to heavy to get where I want them, weather permitting I should get the track down tomorrow, getting close to installation now

 

[blademedia]

Track down, need to pick some sleeper screws up get it level, will fill middle with nice stone, make movable planters to go on platform.

Nearly finished, ran out of daylight.
