Wind speeds in LA are around the 90mph range when looking at a Ballast calculation. Also it doesn't matter how "protected" the dish is, ballast calculations don't take the protection into account.

DO NOT weld galvanized material. It is very very caustic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_fume_fever

For a 2.4 I'm guessing 6 5/8... With a Baird Dish you get a custom ballast calculation and our 10 year warranty. The last thing you want is your 2.4 dish sailing of your deck.

A guy could have worse hobbies. If playing with FTA keeps a guy off a bar stool every night, well that's a plus right there! you can contact me at chris@bairdmounts.com
