How to fix the Dish!!

[zeusTheDoc]

Hi guyz,

I have foretec 1.8m dish and as you know its on a cicular stand. Now I had it fixed with multiple cement blocks on the base. Tonight there has been a strong wind and that uprooted my dish and it was lying on road

I need ideas how can i permanently fix it. They give these bolts but my dish lies on a concrete floor which i cannot drill. What else I can do to make sure it wont move or blown away.

Can you attach your dish to a pallet or non-penetrating dish mount and and more weight? (click the bold words)

Another sample of pallet/floor mount: http://www.sadoun.com/Sat/Products/Fortec-Star/Dishes/120FM-Floor+mount.htm

Well .. most of these non penetrating mounts are small as compared to the dish 's circular base and i suppose I have to make a pallet myself use it as the mounting base with more weights on it!

Well this could have been a perfect solution had my dish been a pole mount, you see this dish looks like this, with this circular ground mount.

Tapcons??? Can you drill thru it and fasten it to the concrete with tapcons (I forget how big they make them) Might have to rent a hammer drill to make a good pilot hole.
Sorry thats all I can come up with.

Make a cross with 2 8 ft 4x4's and bolt the circular base in the center. The large wingspan of the 4x4's should lower the weight required to secure it ?
