Expert Trade Answers
Best Answer
"Yes you can mount it on a pole in the garden. Just make sure pole is sturdy and unlikely to move. I.e fix the pole to a bracket on a concrete slab or fence"

"It all depends on the location and the line of sight. They can be installed in the garden on a pole mount, or a strong fence post. As long as there is a line of sight they can be installed anywhere really"
