DIRECTV POLE:

Outside Diameter – 3″ must be at least schedule 40 gauge

EXEDE POLE:

Outside Diameter – 2″ must be 9 gauge

Length 8′-10′

Cement 3 – 50 lb bags

Ground Depth 3 feet down

In order for you to stabilize the poles in the cement to keep them from spinning, you must drill a hole toward the bottom of the pole (perhaps a 1-1/2 feet up from the bottom)  and put something (perhaps a very long bolt) through the hole prior to cementing it into the ground. This will keep the pole from spinning in the cement.  This is necessary otherwise you will have alignment issues with your signal.
