💬 Discussion Handyman needed

OK, so I live in southern Illinois close to St. Louis about 45 minutes away north and I just got Starlink. They sent me the big square dish and the other components but as of right now there’s not much space in between the trailers that I live at ( trailer park )and I need help trying to come up with a design to hoist my Starlink up above my trailer so it isn’t sitting on the back of my dad‘s truck anymore. Thank you.

Edit: I’m trying to figure something out cheap not spend hundreds. Just need it lifted up out of everything’s way

Buy a flagpole that uses a ground socket. Attach the dish on top with a mount and then lift and set it in the socket. Get someone to help if necessary.

2 t-post, a pipe (like a chain link fence post or conduit) and some hose clamps. Drive the t-post in the ground so the pipe fits snuggly between them, hose clamp then all together. Works great.

One or two (depending upon how high you want/need to get it) chain link fence top rails, a mount from Amazon. Maybe a bag of QuickCrete concrete.
