With a 1m dish it may not stand up to many high wind conditions but then again it all depends on where you have mounted the dish.

i live in the sticks, and get serious wind (weather)

and park the dish side on at these times, seriously, its been there sometime now, its had a 90cm fortec on it, a 1.1 triax and now the orbit, its mounted chest height, i wouldnt use one high up, but i hate the look of t&k's.

the L shaped bracket would be good if it had some supports on it for the pole like the old channel master wall mount had which i wish was still made.

but they are made too cheap these days and not considered the weight of dish on it etc

Now we get the full story

Chest height!, yes I think I would probably chance it low down too, and if it wasn't vertical smack it one with a big hammer.

What they need to design is an L type welded onto another L type upside down, this would form a strong fixing
