Fix a dish to a 200mm diameter steel pole ( without drilling into pole!)

Hi, I have a 200mm diameter steel pole that I'd like to "fix" a Sky Sat dish too. Anyone come up ith a clever way to do it without drilling into the steel pole? Some sort of large Shelly Clamp or something? Thanks in advance

Yes you can get clamps. A couple of brackets designed for attaching large aircon pipes to cielings and bolt the regular bracket to them or a plate attached to them.

Trying to weld to the pipe may be not be the best idea if someone doesn't want to drill it.

200mm? Does it hold up the roof?

any large plumbers merchant, should have 10" 'u' Bolts ,

or failing that you could wrap some 10mm threaded bar around it to make one.
