[QUOTE="hexah, post: 660522, member: 333852"] Steel 1m dishes are heavy, you have to be very careful when up a ladder with one. If it is your first time, it should be a two person job IMHO. Aluminium 1m are always a better choice than steel for this reason. There will also be less strain on the motor. They cost a bit more, but it is always worth it. The lightest 1m (or any other size) are the perforated 'mesh' dishes, and they are the choice when you need light weight above all else. The motor should last longest with them. They also blend in the best if you spray them with car paint the same colour as the wall. You may not even spot them from a distance without looking carefully. Fiberglass or resin dishes are at least as heavy as steel but are the most expensive. :-thumbup [/QUOTE]
