    Hi, I have sky dish with sky wall bracket. I bought triax td88 (88cm) and I want to put this bigger dish on sky wall bracket.
    I am living on second floor and I afraid that 90cm dish will break sky wall bracket.
    Is it safe to use sky bracket with this triax 88cm sattelite dish?

    No. It would be too heavy. The arm on it it wouldnt be long enough anyway to get the dish onto.

    You need a galavanised steel wall mount. They come in various size depending how far you want it out from the wall.

    What STB. said. I'd certainly not consider it safe. The windload on that 88cm would be high compared to the Sky dish and some of the Sky brackets are mediocre at the best of times.

    Thicker, stronger galvanised L brackets aren't that expensive anyway.

    I'd personally go for a sturdy T & K bracket on anything above 80cm. Especially in Ireland.
