What size dish or antenna ?

What is you wind like during storms?

I would go with Sched40 steel pipe, found at any hardware or plumbing supply, mounted in high load Quikrete. Quikrete has a how to on their website for you as well.

standard 18" round dish no severe weather issues around here in San Jose, CA

If you need it 10' off the ground maybe a roof or chimney mount would work? If you still need it mounted in the ground, I would dothe Sch40 in Quikrete.

its not for me its so that I can pre buy it for future customers that live in an apartment whose only option is to have their dish mounted on a tri-pod in their balcony.

You could use a standard line post that is used for chain leinght fencing. Comes in either 6 or 10 foot
