Hi folks, as the topic states, I believe these are available ex UK but wondered if there is a local supplier. To suit a 1" pole.

What is it that you specifically require from it/need it for - the holes in that vertical face and their specific spacing?

 

Can you DIY improvise something from pole clamps available here?





Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Thanks Cyril, that's perfect. I would like to try one of these antennas for freeview on our new build. Looks a lot tidier than the normal UHF aerials. The best position for it is by a piece of fascia but we are using quite a deep gutter. So I figure I will screw this to the soffit instead (rotate the bracket 180° in cyril's pic)

Hi, right, personally I would have just gone for a standard facia mount.

Yeah, as I say, we are using a very deep gutter (rain water collection, sick of gutters overflowing) so there is only 10 or 15mm of fascia showing below the gutter.

i was never really fond of those because on a lot of a houses it only screws into a short thin bit of wood thats holding the soffit, which can be less secure than the facia. so make sure its well stayed.

Will be screwed to a 90 x 45 (on edge) through the soffit so should be secure enough.

 

Maybe we should have a beauty contest. Do you prefer:

 

 

or option b:

 

 

plus

 

 

Serious question.

i havn't used the adjustable mount. the advantage of it is far more flexible which gives more options. however for either i would be fitting stays. a pair of adjustable stays works well.

 

i used to repair a lot of homes where the aerial/dish broke the timber/wall because they where to cheap to use stays or screw to structural timber.

Thanks wellygary, turns out they're everywhere if you know where to look. That's quite a neat little antenna. It might be all I need. We're line of sight to Te Aroha, 32km away.
