Fixing Satellite Dish to brick wall

[Peter James]

Hi,

Can some one advise on the best fixings to use to fit the satellite dish bracket to a brick wall. It is a zone 2 80cm dish.
Should I be using masonry screws (no plug), normal screws/plugs (maybe 80mm), some sort or rawl bolt?

Thanks for any help.

10mm Fischer plugs(S or SX) and M8 coach screws, 50mm long. That's what I used on my dish. You could swing from it.

If your brickwork is a bit crumbly when starting to drill, go for longer screws, 70mm maybe and tap the plug in further.

Any of the above if correctly fitted.
