Here's my new gear. Still some tidying up to do.
I need to tape up the cables and pin down the wall. Also chop the top off the pole.
I also need t scew the LNB a bot, but as you can see, it's a bitch to get to!

Guess what i've been doing today in the wind.
My old pole was meant for a sky mini dish and was bouncing around so much in last nights wind that I couldn't keep a signal.
So today I took it all down and put it up on a scaffold pole.
Solid as a rock now :-)
I've even got the best signal i've ever had on most sats :-) -
Oh yeah ,this is a GREAT hobby of ours!!!! One can never get bored and if one does,then one should dismount and start afresh!! LoL
Congrats ddaddy,especially as it looks like ??you?ve got it mounted over the top of a glass roof extension????
caz -
Cheers Caz.
It's actually mounted above my conservatory!!
I didn't really have a choice as I have 2 very large trees at the end of the garden and I had to aim between them and also take it above the gutters to clear the branches. -
T and K's are the way to go mate, nice install!!!
-
I do a few installs mate and all i can say is RESPECT how you got that to align while u were leaning over that conservatory is amazing lets see that new one!
-
Cheers mate.
The 2nd post is the new one.
The first install was a nightmare mate. I was drilling 8x10mm holes with my left hand at head height about half a meter to the left of the ladder. My arm nearly fell off!
With the 2nd install I learned to drill pilot holes first lol.I'd never be allowed on a building site, health and what? Lol
I was hanging off the ladder to align the dish. -
Oh didnt see 2nd one first class job hard to beat the t&ks to allow pole to be set straight as possible then hitting the sats alot easier
-
I'm getting a much better signal on all sats now, and the wind hasn't affected it one bit :-)
-
defo the way forward mate when i get time thats what i will do with my setup have to try and track down a shiny scaffold bar
-
Finding the pole was probably the hardest part of the whole job.
Just search Google for scaffold sales -
well in pal
much better attempt all credit to ya m8
ill agree t & k all the way. :)
good job........................
