Making a Satellite dish bucket mount is very often the only option for some people. Usually used in Apartment, Cabins, Camping , Balconies and where satellite dish are just not permitted. All you need is a deep bucket, some Galvanized steel of the correct diameter of the dish you are using (I use 1.5″ here this works for Free to Air - DirecTV, Dish Network, Bell standard dish) and a drill to put a stud through the bottom of the pole to stop the pole turning. I also flatten the pole at the bottom for the same reason. I always fill the pole right to the top leaving just enough space to get my pole level in. Another trick is to put a small bit of wood under the bucket to support the base or it will bulge with the weight, this ensures a flat bottomed bucket with no movement at all. keeping the pole short is a good idea, the higher the more prone to wind load. Also remember off-set satellite dish collect signal from 22 deg. higher in the sky than where they “seem” to be pointing. As long as you have a clear line of sight to the satellite a pole mount works perfectly and makes a lot of sense. if you are moving you simply roll it onto the truck and away you go! I use a full bag of cement for each bucket, with a house brick inside the bucket for the pole to added support.
