[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1082501, member: 176704"] Here a couple of examples of how I "guyed" the 1.2m gibby and the TD110 using "[URL='https://www.diy.com/departments/expamet-galvanised-steel-straight-strap-l-1m/35508_BQ.prd']Expamet Galvanised Steel Straight Straps[/URL]" (they come in various lengths) from B&Q and they are around £3-£6 each The straps are fixed to the mast using car exhaust clamps, and the other ends are attached to the posts holding the fence panels (or the garage in one case!). "Luckily" when the neighbours had the fencing installed, it was done using concrete posts, and the ends of the straps slot quite nicely into the small gaps left between the posts and the panels! :D NB: use screws to firmly locate the straps to the posts/panels - after positioning them to push (but probably pull) the dish mast towards the "plumb vertical". You can gently and slightly bend the ends of the straps if necessary - but don't try to bend them more than about 10-15 degrees or they will fracture! [/QUOTE]
