all you need is a pole to mount the motor to and the dish will mount on the motor.

Since you will be starting with the due south position,where are the trees located?

also remember that a offset dish looks 22 degrees higher than it looks.

borrow a digital camera, take a picture from your front yard, looking over your house and up to the trees (simulate what the dish will see...) and post it back here for us to see.
