Thumbs up getting round high winds

if satellite close to ground(moterised and mine is) i use a short piece of angle iron with two G clamps either end ,one attached to the sat dish elevation adjust while the other is clamping the other end of the iron to a short angle iron bracket u clamped to the vertical pole (the moter is attached to). the whole thing works a treat in high winds. i can have a good nights sleep with it in place. Another alt is to use a large G clamp oto back of dish and this extends past the vertical pole so another G clamp can clamp the first G camp to the vertical pole. My brother uses it in the Shetland isles and it works a treat ps they know about 'wind ' up there.
