I finished my install as shown HERE.
The only worry I have is that with there being 6ft of unsecured pole above the top bracket and a 1.1m dish sitting on top makes for a fair bit of leverage and in windy conditions is there any chance the pole could bend?
It is a 16g steel 2" 10ft pole.
You are going to experience a lot of wobble in the wind m8, try putting steady wires on the pole ???

A scaffold pole would have been a better choice for your mast, much more rigid construction. I got a 2.4m galvanised scaffold pole from the local SGB this weeek, £5.64 inc VAT. I have had, in the past, 3m lengths for about 8quid. Price seems to depend upon the daily price of steel, so I was informed.
