A place for everyone to post photos of your Tempest and how you installed the unit.

Yeah, pretty crazy how many people have moved here. We’re fortunate to still have an area of trees and brush near us.

I see mention of vinyl wrapped wood closet rods as mounting posts. I just went to the Lowes site and do not find that item. Am I missing something. Anybody got a link to the product that they actually used? Thanks in advance.

Here is a wood rod on Home Depot’s website. That is where I purchased the vinyl wrapped poles I use. I’m not sure why they aren’t listed anymore. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-96-in-W-Natural-Oak-Heavy-Duty-Wood-Stainable-Closet-Rods-65430/300722708

Thanks. Yes, I found that one and another but no vinyl wrapped version. Maybe they have them in the store. I might check.

When I bought mine I just went to the store. I had to search for a straight one. There were several for going around corners. :grin:

BTW, the vinyl wrap makes the pole just enough larger in diameter to make it very difficult to install the pole mount. It will fit with a little work.

I moved my site this morning - nearby oak tree was beginning to impact both wind and rainfall. Here is the new location. [IMG_6657]

There are so many posts in this thread. Anybody got any links showing the cable arrangement for the power booster? How they attached it over the length of their taller poles? Thanks in advance.
