The 6” bracket and the mitre bracket require one lashing kit, the H/D pair requires two.
The 6" bracket requires modifying if it is to accept 2" V bolts.
Our chimney lash kits have one end “Pre Terminated” for an easier and more reliable install.
The kit comes with 2 x 1.5” V bolts. Note that 2” poles require 2” V Bolts !
The above picture shows the relative diameters of the aluminium poles we sell. We do stock 1” masting but only in 3ft lengths to use as a side pole with a clamp.
Our 6ft poles are 16G and weigh 750g each. They are significantly stronger than the thinner 18G poles.
Before ordering T & K brackets, particularly with a 6ft pole, are you sure a cranked mast wouldn`t be more suitable ?
And it`s cheaper as well......

9 ft 4 in (overall height) by 1” diameter four section aerial pole, these are often used for caravans or boats. Although these poles are significantly weaker than a one piece 10ft x 1.5” pole (so they`re not covered by our our pole lifetime warranty), it should be noted that if wind conditions dictate you do have the option of only using 2 or 3 of the sections. There are three sections at 3ft plus a “shortie” top section (at 1ft) to which the aerial can be left attached, thus avoiding the chore of clamping it on each time you want to use it. Comes with 4 detachable clips to keep your cable tidy (for permanent installs we recommend insulation tape). Pole is of alloy construction.
Note, the 5ft & 9ft cranks (plus the Supercranks) are 1.5” diameter.
I would not usually recommend a 9ft crank for an XB16 or an XB22, unless it was cut down, by a foot, or more ?
Note that the H/D brackets are supplied with a pair of 2.0” V bolts.
Note that 2” diameter poles require 2.0” V Bolts !

Double clamp assembly handy for temporarily attaching an aerial pole to another vertical tube, most often used to bolt a pole to a caravan jockey wheel, for which two are usually required.
The bar is 20mm square section alloy 28cm long. The M6 clamps are plated steel and fit poles up to 2" in diameter.
Simple aerial clamp
To attach a standard 15mm section boom or cradle (not included) to a pole up to 2” diameter. Zinc plated steel. 2 x M6 stainless washers. Non tiltable, and I wouldn`t use one for a large aerial.
Note. Clamps are not required for any of our aerials because they`re all supplied with one.
P&P is cheaper for this item if you phone the order through !
Tilting heavy duty aerial clamp
To attach an aerial boom or its cradle (not included) to a pole up to 2” diameter.
Two clamps are available, one for standard booms (the vast majority aerials in this country) of 15mm cross section, and one for larger 20mm booms. Both clamps can tilt the aerial up to 60 degrees, not that you should normally ever need to incline an aerial that far.....
Zinc plated steel and H/D wing nuts.
Note. Clamps are not required for any of our aerials because they`re all supplied with one.

Aerial cradle
Decent quality (15mm) cradle to clamp onto standard (15mm) boom aerials. Purchase of a cradle is not required with any aerial sold by us because any that need a cradle are supplied with one !
Clamp not included (see above)
The standard lash wire is 5m long, but if your chimney is bigger than this we sell a 10m length of the galvanised lashing wire, note this is only the wire, it does not include the J bolts/corner pieces ! Do not confuse this with catenary wire (or similar), 7 strand lash wire is approximately 3.7mm in diameter and weighs about 65g per metre.
Twelve foot is the longest pole we can ship, but for those requiring even more height we do sell 2” pole couplers.16ft x 2.0in x 14G (2.0mm) poles are available but they must be collected from the shop, i.e. they are not available by mail order.
Caravan / Boat aerial pole clamp
Clamp to hold a 1” pole, e.g the caravan pole. The clamp can be temporarily attached using the (included) adhesive pads, or permanently bolted, screwed or riveted on.
The clamp is supplied singly, though they are often used in pairs or even three of.
The base is metal and jaws of the clamp are made of (reasonably strong) plastic.

This Die Cast M6 Wing Nut is the best compromise between the strength of a nut and the convenience (for boat and caravan aerials) of a wing nut. Integral 10mm hexagon for use with a spanner if required. Zinc alloy.
Can be used, for example, with the loft kits.
The Ts and Ks are also available separately.
Two wall anchors are required for each T, and three for each K. V bolt is not included.
All offsets on the cranked poles are approximate, if this is critical phone to check the exact figure. The cranked alloy poles are 16G alloy, the L Section is 18G galv steel and the Right Angle Crank is 16G galv steel..
All our poles are “Forth Bridge Engineering”, see our our pole lifetime warranty.
The 6 foot cranked pole is not really suitable for satellite dishes. The 3ft and 5ft cranked poles are OK for dishes up to 60cm, or larger in sheltered locations.

“Through Bracket”
Neat way to attach a short 1” diameter pole to a wall, particularly suitable for caravans, boats and sheds etc. Includes the 1” M6 U bolt. Zinc plated steel. 7cm x 15.5cm (approx).
Stand off 1.25" (approx) We sell a 3ft x 1” alloy pole specifically to fit this bracket.
Aerial Poles/Masts :
Caravan / Boat
Pole Coupler for 2” Masts
Zinc plated steel 2" internal diameter x 15" long which is sufficiently strong that the pole would fail before the coupler. This is a heavy duty product for coupling 2” alloy poles together.
The longest mast we can ship is 10ft so this coupler can be utilised to make up a longer pole by joining two together. We would not normally advise coupling two 10ft x 16G poles together. If making up a longer mast we would advise using two 8ft “satellite poles” (which are 14G/2mm), or an 8ft satellite pole and a 10ft x 2” (16G/1.6mm) pole, placing the thicker walled 8ft pole at the bottom. Think Eiffel Tower, it`s stronger at the bottom........
Lash Kits
Our lash kits and V bolts are supplied with washers (zinc plated). This is at a great
deal of trouble to us I may add, because no supplier includes the washers with the
V bolts, or with any (pre-
Note, when using “V bolts” to attach the pole to the bracket care should taken not to over tighten the top one. This is to avoid weakening the mast by crushing it, though the latter is less likely with a 16G pole. The bottom V bolt can be tightened as much as you want to ensure that the pole/aerial doesn`t slip round. This is particularly important with a big aerial or a cranked pole.
V Bolts
All our V bolts come with washers (Vs and washers are zinc plated).
Our V bolts are measured internal diameter.
1.5" Vs are M8 thread.
2" Vs are 3/8 thread
2.75"Vs are 3/8 thread
Note that two V bolts are usually required for most brackets.
We recommend using 10ft x 2" poles (as opposed to the 1.5” type) for larger aerials, e.g. DY14s, XB16s, XB22s.

Whilst we do not recommend their use for mounting TV aerials outside the two loft kits we stock are perfect for mounting an aerial indoors (or a low windloading FM or DAB dipole outside). If you are unsure which to buy we would advise the purchase of the “L Section” as it can always be cut down to a straight pole if that`s what you end up requiring. The alternative would require exceptionally strong glue to modify the straight one.......
The pole is 1" alloy, the bracket is pre galvanised steel and the U bolt is zinc plated and M6 thread.
The straight loft kit is particularly
suitable for boat aerial mountings.
The bracket mounts parallel or perpendicular.
Satellite poles must be rock steady if you are keep the dish focused on that little “geostationary” transmitter 22,000 miles above the Equator. Thus we stock four very strong alloy satellite masts, 5ft x 1.5” x 16G (1.6mm, straight & cranked), plus 4ft and 8ft x 2.0” x 14G (2.0mm). These are equally suitable as ultra strong aerial poles for particularly large antennas in exposed locations, the 8ft is 2.0mm thick alloy, it weighs over 2Kg ! These poles should be used in conjunction with our T & K brackets and a particularly large satellite dish (using the 2.0” pole) may even need to use two “K”s plus a “T”. In exposed locations I`d consider shortening the pole as well. Think how much wind loading you can get on a 1 metre) dish.....
The 5ft and 3ft cranked poles (plus the 5ft straight) are suitable for dishes up to 60cm. Larger dishes may also be OK on these poles provided the location is not too exposed.
Most Sky minidishes will fit on a 2" pole (though you will have to use a V bolt or pole mount), but a few of the oldest ones [fitted with the little "L" pole] will only take 1.25" poles.
See graphic for offset etc
Note that 2” diameter poles require 2.0” V Bolts !
