[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 24284, member: 175057"] There is no way that I would advise mounting the 1.8 metre dish on a 60cm by 60cm chimney Andrew, the wind stress would be tremendous. There are through roof mounting systems available, but they need to penetrate the roof to attach to the joists. I have known people, where the dish direction matches the roof slope, to mount an offset dish upside down, that way it mirrors the pitch of the roof and causes less wind resistance, it is also slightly less visible. PS. Chemical bolts are large studs contained in an epoxy case, they are placed in the hole and then the epoxy resin is mixed by either hammering (thus breaking the separate containers or a hardener being inserted. They have amazing strength and grip, even in soft materials. [/QUOTE]
