Conduit is the way to go. Don't direct bury the cables. Bury
conduit and pull the cables through.


Oh, yes -- please. I did my satellite dish that way in 1985 and have had no
problems.


You'll need a 90 degree elbow at each end. Use the largest radius you
can get away with.

To the OP: A sweep elbow is that "large radius" section. Sweep elbows are
available in various large radii, like 36", and will treat your Heliax or
other cable bends kindly. The plumbing trades use them, too.

The article may provide the OP some tips.

RELATED: With my dish install, I picked too-small PVC and couldn't pull the
whole length. I had to cut the PVC into sections, pull the conduit through
each section (and through new couplings) and then glue the sections back
together. My mistake wasted half a day. Check your "pull-ability" before
gluing your parts into a unit.
