[QUOTE="joddle, post: 914647, member: 247983"] Thinking of fixing dishes - I have recently put a dish up in Javea - its a 1.2 Tagra PF dish and pretty well made. The 90 deg wall bracket seems strong enough to hold an elephant. For the moment it is fixed to the wall by four large coach screws into plastic plugs in the blockwork. With all the recent winds I was wondering if there are better or stronger ways to do this. As this part of the wall goes into our underbuild, perhaps drilling completely through the wall and fixing a plate on the inside using long studs would be preferable? - I am always a bit worried when fixing to the hollow cinder block walls anyway although in this case at the top the coach screws go thorugh the outer block into the ringbeam so are pretty solid although the bottom ones just go into the hollow blockwork.
