AT9 - Chimney mount

[dervari]

I may have to try to get my DTV installer to mount my AT9 on the chimney. Can anyone tell me what size bolts the dish needs? I want to go ahead and get the bolts and anchors beforehand since I'm sure the installer won't have them.

5/16ths should be about right, 1/4" is a bit small in the holes, and would definitely want washers. Considering the bulk and weight, I'd feel much better with 5/16ths hardware. My AT9 is mounted to steel channels bolted to spacers on a 3-foot dia. tree, with 1/4" hardware with washers under the heads holding the mount to the channels.

There's also a chimney mount that wraps 2 galvanized straps around the chimney and locks the mast in place, depends on the condition of the chimney, i guess-
