A fence post will not work for the slimline or swm dishes.
I REPEAT...A normal standard fence pole that you find at HD or Lowe's will not work. It's a smidge to small for the dish to "grab" hold of.
I REPEAT....it will not work.....I know this like it is the gospel.
Now, there may be a fence pole out there that will work, but I've never found one at HD or Lowes.
Back in the day with the 18" and 18x24" dishes no problem.
uhmmm, yeah you can make it work, as my Slimline dish with 5LNB head is mounted on a fence post that is part of my fence (as I said its been this way for the last 4 years & I have never had to tweak it).
I would not recomend doing it for a client though, and definatly not as a stand alone installation option.
