What you see in the picture is nothing but a dust cover, you need to use a coin or screwdriver to adjust it

No, you need a flathead scewdriver or a dime. The adjustments are also under protective caps that unscrew by hand.

They are held in place by a standard bmx-style "goose neck." It's two u-shaped bars that clamp down using four Allen screws. If you had the correct wrench, it shouldn't take more than a minute to rotate them down. Do you need me to measure height with bars rotated down?

Nothing really needed at all. I used only my hands. No tools are required. You might need help getting the plastic cover on and a step stool too. I set it up on my patio last year and had no issues with it at all. Even in strong winds of 35 to 45 MPH did not cause any problems. If you live in an area with stronger winds then you might want to use weights to hold it down. The bottom of the legs come with flanges that will allow you multiple ways to secure the house down. You could just set some heavy pot plants on top of these flanges to hold it down. Hope this helps. We do like ours very much and we don't have to carry our 50 plus pot plants in during a freeze.

..mine worked like a charm, yes...it screws like a crank, you just have to tighten by feel...if you think you have enough for one more turn and the neck to end up vertical then go ahead...I knew on my last turn that it was pretty tight and that I might had enough for a one more turn but I wasn't 100% so I stopped...plumbers tape is a must obviously and so far no leaks or problems....there is no need to over-tighten....

Hello, I have had my antenna for about a year and a half, I live a long way from where the station signals come from and in a very high wind area, So far I have NOT had to turn my antenna at all. This is a great purchase! ( No I do not have to move the antenna ) Hope this helps! Have a great day!

There's a screw in the base that can be adjusted so you don't need to insert a coin. I don't remember exactly how it adjusts, but you can get to it by removing the glass bowl and reaching down into the base with a screwdriver. The actual details are included in the instruction booklet.

I used the screws the (pathetic) diagram called for- the #5's. They are tough to get started so you need a good screwdriver and a strong grip. Once they get in a couple of turns they go the rest of the way much easier

hi koni, yes in answer too your question, very adjustable with a small flat bladed screwdriver clockwise is for wider or more of a fanning like misting, counter clockwise will adjust to almost a jetted or straight stream and further distance can be achieved. i have 3 and they perform flawlessly, be somewhat careful with the spike that goes in the ground as they are made of pot metal and wont take much of any bending or they break push in straight and pull out the same easiest if you wet the ground before inserting, i know because i did it the hard way :))))) i hope that was helpful, they really do work well d clark

I was able to do it with a flat screwdriver. It just had to be a small enough flat screwdriver. You don't want it to be TO easy - they need to stay put!

You should have instructions how to! However in the back with a coin turn the round cover.

Mount it on the up-risers or sides of bars. The way you have it, you could never get enough grip from the mounts to fight the wind pressure.

We made our own out of metal my son and brother bought at the local hardware store. We needed a quick solution. Just took the measurements of the old pieces and went to home depot and they helped us get what we needed and it holds up much better to wind now

How is it secured to resist wind? Guidelines? Weights? Do either come with it and if not where are they available?

Hi Caroline,The windage adjustment would be the knob just right below the front support and above the elevation adjuster. I hope this helps you out.Regards,Jojo

it is in the instruction book page 5 number 15. rotate the adjustment gear clockwise and stem counterclockwise.
