Advice on mast, please?

    I was wondering if someone can suggest a mast and a pair of U-bolts (rather long Us) for my Lidl 80cm dish (I'd like to avoid some trees). It has to be about 7 feet long and straight (like a bar really), because I have to put it in the angle of the balcony (to which I will attach it with the U-bolts). I tried one from B&Q but it didn't look good at all: it moved (not vibrated) with the slightest breeze after attaching it to the balcony rail! It looked like it was going to snap. I thought maybe scaffolding bars could do the trick... Any ideas/advice on where to get the stuff, type of material,...? Thanks

    I'd expect standard 2" galvanised mast would do the trick. Avoid the aluminium ones, as they tend to sway more.

    Any aerial installer or local electrical store should have them.
