@Firestarter. Ah, I was looking at this unfortunately, I’ve got to place it at the top of the house trees are a killer for me, once it’s at the top it looks directly between the two trees at Mercury

Can anyone recommend a store that sticks that stay cable?

Decided that it was time to sort the network cupboard out as well while I’m busy.

Is that an aluminium pole? What is the diameter?

48

Yeah @Diesal you might want to reconsider a thicker galvanised pole. We have been through this a few times before. The aluminium poles break and you end up with a dish on the ground.

38mm…

Damn, is it that bad?

I’ll swap it out then sometime this weekend.wanted to get the galvanized iron mast but it was sold out.

I wouldn’t say bad… More like… Bendy…

I used 48mm G Steel pole. Was the good life.
Using a flush wall mount bracket right?

51

48mm 1.2mm wall thickness should work fine on 2x 100mm brackets i think

Yeah, for your equipment that’s bad. Wait till you get some wind, and see what it does.

I’ve got 2m of that, but I only have a 400mm PowerBeam, which is much lighter.

I’d recommend 50mm pole.

I made use of of Tripod wall bracket - seems sturdy enough…

OK, the wind here is something else which worries me,
I’ll head down the hardware store, pick up something sturdier…

If it’s just off the brick work, I used this:

Nah, I got a tripod bracket.

56

Now, I’ve reinforced the setup now I think I’ll need an IP and routing done?

Sent to send a mail to the admins so I should be up and running soon, again, I’d like to thank everyone who helped me get set-up.
