I haven't found a BUD yet where the bolts won't just twist off if they are too rusted.
"...in spite of two big guys with pipe wrenches yanking on them."
Pipe wrenches? There's your problem, mate!
C-Bandgazebo? I don't like it. (moment of silence)
My sons high school put hundreds of little tiny square mirrors on a dish 500 and made a solar powered coffee cooker. They put a little can of hot water where the LNB would of went. Kinda cool.

That's funny... I think my destroyed 10' BUD looked better in the yard than that out-of-whack BUDzebo... they better get those roses climbing quick to cover up their crappy construction job...
One of the more intriguing things I've seen done with a BUD is the solar collector... It gets hot enough to heat steel to glowing red.
I've wondered about methods for power generation with such.

I propose a little preemptive dish rescue. The mesh dishes that disassemble into quadrants take up little room in your basement. I have a bunch of dishes in my basement right now. The time to rescue a BUD is now -- when you don't really need another one. When you really need one they might be mostly gone. That would really suck.
3 local mesh BUDs got away from me this summer. I had spotted them as much as a year ago, always saw them when I drove by -- until the day there was that horrible sinking feeling, when all that's left is a BUD-less pole in the ground.
I'll try not to let that happen again
!
I am thinking of creating a liberation army similar to that seen mostly in Europe, but in my case it would be to rescue this poor dishes instead of garden gnomes ¬¬
Who's with me in the ALF?

I am going against the grain here and say that I like it. The Dish could have been distroyed and gone into a landfill but now its in use and providing the owner some happiness.
Yeah the construction could have been better, but at least its still making someone happy.

In the first picture, looks like most of the mesh was gone already out of that one. But, he still should be horse-whipped! LOL
Well - my take on the solar collector was that it was all stick-on mirrors and the dish, mesh, and mount all stays intact, thereby it could still be used as a sat antenna...
If you have a bunch of extra unused BUDs handy, it would seem to be a good use for them while they are sitting 'idle'...
Replace the feed with a heat-electric convertor, snap on your mirror panels, and tune-in to your closest star...
As for the BUDzebo... I dunno... I think it just smells wrong...

I don't hate it, but I'm going to need to see it in a finished state to make a final decision. As it stands, it looks like BUD-henge. It needs some furniture and flora.
If it doesn't provide shade, what good is a gazebo?
Looks to me the guy took a junk dish and made a junk gazebo...
