I've got to move my 1.2m dish off the side of my house as we live right on top of a mountain and when the wind blows it's bloody gale force. Does anyone know of a shop online where I can purchase a ground stand please as I need to drop the dish by about 6 - 8 feet to stop it shaking violently in the wind?

Many thanks in advance.

why not put a scaffold pole into the ground and use that.

I did this. I went and picked up an 8ft pole, dug a 5ft hole and cemented it in. Bag of sand, bag of stone, bag of cement. The pole cost me a fiver down the scrapyard. The bloke even cut it to size for me. It's stood firm under some pretty rough weather conditions over the last year.
