[QUOTE="Captain Jack, post: 869246, member: 243342"] Triax is also a relatively heavy dish but nowhere near as bad as the 1.25m Gibby. It's also an absolute pain to adjust due to a horrible elevation adjustment mechanism but once up, it's a good performer. If you are keen on putting the dish up where it is now then do this. Get a scaffold pole 50mm in diameter (at least) and make sure it's long enough to go into the ground. In the ground, dig a hole at least 60cm deep and just as wide, put a couple of bolts through the bottom of the pole to stop it rotating, put the pole in the hole and bury it with some concrete. Next, get some spider leg wall brackets - a bit like yours in the middle of the picture but with a third leg at the bottom, a bit like the one on the left . [IMG]http://www.tradeworks.tv/acatalog/30cm-A-Brackets-Galvanised.jpg[/IMG] Get a couple of these and add them to support the pole on the wall. Make sure that the bolts holding the brackets to the wall are secure - perhaps from the other side of the wall if you have access to that. That *should* hold the Gibby dish.... but don't hold me responsible if it all comes crashing down! [/QUOTE]
