Mounting a pole in the ground.

I don't think it will be going anywhere for a number of years.

that looks very sturdy and sheltered with the hedge is it behind the dish, i wish i had that as i'd prefer a ground mount to a wall mount just below the guttering (blaming neighbor for that)

I had no choice really, my only south facing wall is approx 0.8m from my neighbours garden, and the LNB would have overhung their property, hence why I originally had a motorised minidish.

The disadvanatge of having it so low, is obviously a more restricted view of the arc. But having it so low like that made it soo soo easy to mount the dish, and of couse it is very sheltered, and is not affected by strong winds. ( I had it fixed on onto a length of 3x2 before I motorised it)

Daytime picture:-

Two LNBs on there at the moment, I was experimenting with an old SKY LNB. I'm thinking of putting 3 lnbs on in total for 28,19,13E so that I don't have to motor between them.

Get some of that green paint on them there bricks too, or those government spy satellites will be upping your council tax band

Also fill up those holes and form a watershed otherwise the frost will split them wide open.
