Here is the link to a design how to DIY a simple parabolic dish antenna. The design is self-explanatory and easy to understand.
For the fine details, check also the following links:
Just a few hints from my side:
-
for amateurs without required instruments and knowledge it is much easier first to choose the feed and according to the feed to construct the dish with F/d that match the feed you intend to use.
-
can feed (circular waveguide) are good for deep dish, F/d 0.35-0-45
-
use the aluminum flat bars (strips) 2 mm, do not use 1 mm as construction will be not so rigid
-
do not use the plastic screening mesh wire for the reflector :-)
-
the size of the eye on the chicken mesh wire will set the maximum frequency you can use.
-
this approach and antenna design is good up to 3 GHz, do not use it above that frequency
have fun...
