Longer u-bolts for pole relocation and alignment with roof

Hi all,

I’ve had to relocate my pole to the other side of my house and installed my pole with the brackets and u-bolts but the pole fouls with the roof truss. I’ve managed to grind away enough clearance on the roof tile to get the pole right up against the truss but need longer u-bolts to align the pole straight - see diagram below.

Anyone know where I can purchase these longer u-bolts?

Multiple ways to do it, some suggestions:

  1. Have threaded bar bent (but protect the ends)
  2. Use longer bolts, instead of them going around the pole, use a thick steel plate with 4x holes in
  3. Use a larger tripod bracket (depending on the difference in depth required)

You can buy a stand-off bracket from Scoop as well.

got the exact same bracket @dizzle, it’s a little shaky but you just gotta make sure to make it stable from the top

Lol if the side don’t have facebard cut the tile :slight_smile::joy:
