Not bad at all.
Just keep an eye on the cable from the Motor to the LNB in case
a. It catches on the dish bracket bolts
b. It comes unscrewed at the motor end with repeated panning of the arc (In which case use a slightly longer piece and cable tie it to the mount close to the motor end of the cable).

Yes, nice install that. Pro installers might frown on the use of the single bracket, but well done tkh.

yeah i had used one and it bent in strong winds, but sheltered areas they should be fine if you get them level. I would as already said make sure the lnb to motor cable is not tight as it will undo every time the dish moves
very good for a first install.

Ah, Sunny Blackpool, biggest problem I've seen round that area is corrosion due to the Sea Air. Might be worth making sure all fittings are either galvanised (bracket) or Stainless Steel (bolts), zinc plated nuts can be protected with self amalgamating tape.
Looks nice and compact, never used one of those brackets as they look difficult to get vertical? On the face of it, there is nothing to stop you fitting a "T" bracket at the top for re-enforcing if strength ever becomes an issue.

Not bad at all, and a lovely south facing wall to catch everything.
Well done.

If its any comfort I was helping a friend last night sort out a dish on a house he just bought, and it was mounted on one of those brackets. Dish must have been there 5+ years but the thing was dead level still (and had 80cm and a motor) so if its not in a windy location you may find it lasts ok.
