Please Post Pic's of 10 ft. and 12 ft. C - Band Dishes

[BeltFanChris]

If any of you don't mind, would you please post actual pic's of both 10 ft. and 12 ft. black mesh C - Band dishes

I'm contemplating between a 10 ft. and 12 ft. black mesh dish to start off

I'm thinking about starting of possibly with a 10 ft. black mesh dish just to learn the hobby and get my feet wet. Then when I learn and such move up to a 12 ft. black mesh dish

I have absolutely no interest in a solid dish. I just want pic's of owners actual 10 ft. black mesh dish and 12 ft. black mesh dish setup's to compare between the 2 different sizes and also to see how they look

I hope nobody minds my questions

My 10' Unimesh shortly after I installed a Titanium C2PLL. I might have to take it down after I get the Birdview installed.

Here a 10' pre-assembled on a non-pen before and after mounting on the shop.

Wow that must be a really strong roof! Look at those weights! Did you have to add any additional load bearing structure inside the shop?

 

[Titanium]

Roof is engineered for Sierra snow loads. It also is reassuring to have the majority of weight positioned over an exterior wall. Approximately 1950 lb total weight.

No, it is a 10ft. Pretty sure it is a perfect 10, as someone here pointed me to a manual that fits.

 

[BeltFanChris]

Thank you everyone for the pic's. It seems like the consist from everyone is a 10 ft. black mesh dish is the way to go and is the perfect size for today and for the future

You did not state if it needed to be in place. Too bad you live so far away. This one served me for many years.

12' is a very big dish. I can get you one that will fit in a pickup.

Oh, great "larges" for the satellite dish needs care; let us not dwell too long on how big it is. Let us make a "beauty" dish. Tribute to NASA dish, the Miralite is....
This on is a Laser 10' alum. mesh (they r not black, but big. i liked their 7.5').

Wow, that is a huge and probably heavy dish! Does it use the mount in the second pic or a different mount??

No not that little dish ring . It's a fixed mount. Lots of heavy pieces.
