I installed a 1.1m triax dish on a technomate motor, on a 2inch ,2mm thick wall steel pole using 18inch t&k brackets. the t & k brackets were 15 inches apart as that was all the wall would allow. The pole went up another 2 foot and the dish and motor was connected, my mate says the installation fell!!!:mad::mad:
the coach bolts used were m8 80mm and there was 2 on t bracket and 3 on k, they were solid, everything was.
can anyone recommend a way to stop this happening again or am i just going to have to tell my mate that the area is far to wind exposed for that weight of dish?
the installation has to be lifted above a wall so it can turn freely, i cant lower it
help appreciated
