I will need to mount this on a 15' ground pole. Can you recommend one? Thanks

Ray: Just go to Home Depot and purchase a 15' length of 1 1/4 " diameter aluminum pole. Any pole will do however. This antenna works best in the attic. Just mount the pole on the crossbeam somewhere and then aim it in the appropriate direction. In my case I bought a $10.00 pre-amp to give the signal a boost but I probably would not need it. It sounds like it will be outside. That's ok. Just a utility pole of some kind will work. I assume you will anchor it with a cement foundation, which is why mounting it inside(in the attic)works better. It is a Great Antenna and delivers HD pictures. You save money too. You won't need Cable or Satellite Dish anymore. Ray: Just go to Home Depot and purchase a 15' length of 1 1/4 " diameter aluminum pole. Any pole will do however. This antenna works best in the attic.

With any antenna, the key to best reception is to mount the thing so that there is line of sight to the reception towers. So...if your 15' mount will allow you some line of sight to your local towers, great. Otherwise, you may need to go up higher. I will take this opportunity to say that my roof mount of this antenna is flawless.

It fits on a 1 inch pole. I got the pole from Achla designs, they make a whole system that you can make any height you wish,including a bottom section that screws into the ground.

I measured the outer line on ours and it is 74" from the ground. If you can reach 15" over your head then you should have no trouble.

That's exactly what I have mine on. However it seems a little large for the pole and I'm afraid that the pole will eventually break during a storm. I will be ordering the 4x4 adaptor and moving the barn to a pole where I removed a 20 year old mart

Guess you could attach a wire to the top of a pole and let it dangle. Mine is hanging on a garden arch via a hanging basket hanger. An excellent product.

I believe the pole is advertised as being 91"There are three "prongs"at the bottom of the pole that you push down into the ground to secure it. The remaining part above ground will be approx. 79". I've purchased other poles in the past. This is definitely heavy duty, well made, and looks great! Hope that helps:)

I installed my mount from the ceiling and that worked very well. The kit comes with several height posts and should work ok for your application.

I bought the Homestead Step-in Birdfeeder Pole -4025 from Amazon. Works great. It has a plate at the top for mounting to the bottom of the house. Plate is not shown on webpage, which caused a lot of people to ask about it. Easy to assemble. Hope this helps.

You can ground it easily with a u-clamp, some 16 gage aluminum wire and a grounding rod (available at Radio Shack) but I just mounted mine to a rafter in the attic. It gets just as good reception and it's out of the wind and rain so it will last much longer.

I have used this with a 1 1/4" diameter pole. I am not sure if a larger pole would work.

I will have an adapter that you can use regardless the pole diameter and you don't have to climb and it's mount on the side directly above the flag. Give me 24 hours and I will have on the market! You can see the picture on the customer images, the second on the left all the way to the 2nd row from the bottom!

I believe that it is meant to be installed on a pole. I suppose you could purchase a smallsectionof pvc pipe lowes of home depot, or for that matter if you are not worried about appearances just rest it on the wall. As an outdoor antenna it is quite good

In most applications, no the 15 foot will do fine. The types of parks and dump locations are close enough for you to use this without any problems.

I would build a concrete form (wooden box ) to bring the concrete base for the pole up to the level you need. It would be a good idea to put in a few pieces of rebar to ensure strength.

I don't know about mounting it on a pole. I don't use mine any more because the squirrels were all over it and had the cover off and the seed all over the ground in nothing flat.

The Stokes select has a round set up for the poll. If used on a square pole you would have too much space for it to fit properly unless you used longer bolts. Give it a try. Good luck.

It will be fine for the shorter hose. I put a 50 footer on it most of the time, but used it with the shorter hoses, too. It is sturdy when mounted to the wall. I didn't buy the stake for the ground mount. Figured it wouldn't be stable. I've had mine a couple of years I think. THe finish still looks good.
