Am in west london and I want to find a sat shop close to me that sells satellite poles in order to mount my dish. Have looked on the net but to no avail. I don't wanna pay for postage either. Anyone knows of a place that sells poles?

It appears that i need a 6cm thick pole which should have a square shaped base so that i can drill it on the flagstones. Been looking all over the net but nothing!

Phone SCCI in Cheshunt, tell them you want a 2" by 36" Ground mount. They may be able to deliver as well.

PS. Why specifically a 6cm diameter?

I can't find a place to get a pole. How do you call the stores that make these things? Stick to pieces of metal together. There must be somewhere in London. I want it to be about 80cm tall and 6cm thick.

Do you mean a fabricating shop or light engineering workshop?

Phone a steel stockholder and ask for tube using mm e.g. od (outside diameter) = 60mm, 1mm thick and 1000mm long.

Try a local one to you:

Yes a ligh engineering shop where you can order what you want.

Anyone else who has t90 wave frontier here? From where you got the ground pole?

I phoned many installers but none is willing to sell a pole to me unless i get them to do the job for me.

I'll try a local steel stockholder.

Anyone else who has t90 wave frontier here? From where you got a
pole? Normal poles are much thinner than what t90 requires.

Yes, but a steel warehouse will not fabricate a patio stand normally, you have to go to a fabricator or light engineering works..
