Default pole + U-bolt: where to buy?

Hi,

Where can I buy the 'scaffolding pole' (3m) to mount a satellite dish? I'm in Cheshunt/Hertfordshire and close to Enfield North London.

Also, where can I buy the U-bolts to attach the T-K clamps to the pole?

Thanks for you help.

Cheers
GJ

I got a 2 metre pole from a local scaffolder (ex hire) and he charged me £6.
You can get the bolts from Maplins, Ebay or a local aerial installer.

Hi gj
I get 3m (10ft) new galvanised steel scaffold poles from my local SGB (Scaffolding Great Britain) branch (look in your yellow pages) for less than a tenner (trade price).
"U" bolts and nuts, should have been supplied with your "T&K" brackets. Try the supplier or Maplins or a TV aerial installer or B&Q.
cheers BlackHawk

TLC direct do the 2 inch U-bolts for 24p each, if you have a local branch.

Only aluminium poles though.
