My Fortec-Star 31" dish install

Hi guys, Hope this it the correct place for this post. Just a few pics of how I installed my dish on the back of my city lot. I have two large trees on the street that would obscure a good view of the Clarke's Belt ARC. Also trees across the street in front would degrade my low angle LOS to the ARC.
I used a ten foot stick of two inch EMT conduit and three 24 inch all-thread rods and plates with nuts and lock washers. The car-port posts are 4X4 in and set in concrete. I used a pair of 4 inch fence post ends as spacers to extend the conduit beyond the edge of the car-port cover.
Hope this may give some 'city-dwellers' an idea on their instalations.
C Ya, George
