Movable ground mount

[flickerrr]

Hi guys i have a 1.2m Motorised dish and wondering is it possible to have a non fixed ground mount. Say for example a barrel filled with cement or the like? I know a barrel could blow over so just wondering has anyone else come up with something? Something like the non penetrating roof mounts but home made!!

Cheers

Hi flickerrr
A large paving slab worked for me if in doubt put some extra weight on the slab, set the slab on sand.

Thanks Gerry55 but bit confused how did you mount the pole?

my stand is raw bolted into 3 massive kerb stones laid on the ground in a triangle shape.its been like that for 25 yrs,but about 20yrs ago i did move it across the garden and it was just a simple matter of taking everything apart and getting a mate to help me move and lift the kerb stones one at a time to the new location for the dish,then just bolting everything back up again.

i made a few years ago a stand out of rsj's,i welded the smaller rsj's in the middle of the larger rsj so forming a x shape.in the middle of this i welded a 4ft steel pipe then attatched my motor and dish to pipe,nothing would blow this over it was real heavy,when i moved home i could not use at my new place so gave it scrap men,took 2 people to pick it up,i will check some of my old pics and see if i have a pic of it somewhere
