It is virtually wind proof so there is no more fear of a blow-over. One of my joints came apart after a while so make sure you use lots of &quot;glue&quot; on all the joints and maybe think of adding a screw or two. It also developed a bit of a sag in the middle because of the short legs I used and the weight of the dish. I am not sure what the solution for this would be. I solved it by finding a rock or stick of the correct size to place under the center. Here is a link to a photo of the mount I made:<br /><br />http://croftsmexico.blogspot.com/2008/10/windproof-satelite-dish-mount.htmlCrofthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17634815881045387152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414957110325310952.post-1780739921693020052009-07-11T05:21:36.803-07:002009-07-11T05:21:36.803-07:00How did your new ground dish mount work out in practice?
