Attach a satellite dish to purposely installed new 'telegraph' pole

KeRbDoG

Hey all,
I've just had a new 'telegraph' style pole installed on my new house site boundary with the idea that I will be mounting all my future wireless bits'n'pieces on.

I'm guessing the same type mounts that will do a 100cm~ satellite dish on a large diamater pole will work for almost everything I plan for. One could do the satellite dish and another I will use for the small TV antenna, outdoor Ubiquiti wifi AP and another in the future for a camera.

What would folks recommend in terms of a mount/bracket?

What material is the Pole?

Treated wood

Cantona's Collars

I've had a dish on a telegraph pole since the days of analogue,never had an issue.Once it's deep enough it'll never move.

It's easier fix to wood than cement plaster

watty

As long as enough pole is in the ground with enough concrete etc...

Cool stuff - can anyone recommend a bracket to attach it securely to the pole? Just a normal small touching foot print standard wall bracket like this?

Once it's bolted securely into the pole the bracket won't move.I originally had a 100cm dish secured with coach screws & it never moved even when some eejit climbed up onto the bracket.

It's since been replaced by a Sky dish which has never moved either.

Cheers for the replies folks - seems I was over thinking it

Coach screws and a standard bracket it is!!!
