This page is intended to offer you information for installation of "pole" mounts or "ground" mounts for satellite television, satellite Internet, and other systems.

Use of this information is at your own risk... we are not responsible for any incidents, accidents or incorrect information on this page! The guide below is what we use for most of the standard pole mounts that we install here in Northwestern Montana. Concrete and Water estimates are approximate.

NOTE: The following pole (pipe) sizes under the "WE ORDER" column reflects Schedule 40 steel (black or galvanized) pipe, which is what we use and recommend for the most reliability and stability! Many satellite service providers use "OD" for outside diameter, however schedule 40 steel is measured and sold using "ID" or inside diameter, thus the reason we have included the "WE ORDER" column.
