hey guys, i got my dish home today and it's actually a 10foot dish , earlier in my posts I thought it was 12 feet. but its actually 10 foot and its fiberglass.

My existing pole is a 3.5 " sch 40 stainless steel 48" in the ground with a 24" concrete base.

The pole is filled with cement to the top.

The pole is 6 feet tall out of the ground and very solid, and perfectly plumb.

Will this pole support this fiberglass dish?
I am not worried so much about the weight this dish is actually lighter in weight than the 6 foot prodelin commercial dish that is on the pole now.

I was wondering about windload. Plus the dish is designed for a 4.5" diamerter pole, I can easily make an adaptor.

I am wondering if this pole would hold up in the wind? What do you guys think? :)
 
I would not worry much if the pole is 48" in ground and with 24" cement base. It take up lots of wind flow to has it move.
