New dish mounting problem

[Cascade]

I can't fit my new dish on my existing pole, should I take down my 30" and just use my new dish or concrete another pole in the ground?

I was planning on using a 1" steel fencepost for my new dish but I can't find the right mount for it..

Should I fill the post with cement to stop it swaying?

I agree with Iceberg, if this is your "new dish", you will need a bigger post.

new dish

Most the universal dish mount are require a 2 3/8" to 2 5/8" post, which can purchase at Home Depot for ground pole installation.

If the mount is came with the system, why not considering put it to the roof if it is a one story home, or attach to the wall if the wall is face to the south with good LOS. I am not recomment put it to the top of the roof.

Since these type of dish most make out from steel, grounding the dish as well is recommended along with your coax cable before enter into the house.

I don't think it has a universal dish mount, I guess I could try mounting it on the roof.

Any mount that looks like the DTV or Dish Network, its called universal mount, if the mount come with two or four support legs, its not. The universal mount uses 2" longer then the standard mount and the base is much larger.

Do you think my new dish would fit on a universal mount?

Hmmmmmm what size of your new dish, look at your original post, you has a 30" dish.
