ok guys im gonna do my first attempt to install a motorised sat dish
when the wind has dropped,just a couple of questions
which type of anchor bolt should i use
a rawlbolt type,or a sleeve type,the t&k brackets are going on the
wall at back which has render on with stone chips on then you got the brick
would the sleeve anchor do for this,or will i need the rawl bolt type,would i have
to chip away around the brackets to expose the brickwork,then put either the sleeve type
or rawl type bolt in or just leave the render alone and drill thru into the brick

also hopefully im gonna have the dish above the guttering,how for above the gutterin should roughly the end of the pole be about 1.5mtrs ????
dish is 1mtr,the pole 10'
 
Biggest problem with mounting a heavy rig onto a stone chip render, is finding the brick and not the mortar. I normally use long sleeve anchors with T&Ks, not had one come down yet.:)
 
would chemical anchor be better for me
 
Not really, chemical anchors are for suspect brick or stone, I've only had to use them once. You may have a couple of abortive holes where you hit a mortar line, but otherwise, sleeve anchors of around 100mm should be fine.
