Mast through tile?
 
I have seen one or two these in the USA but not in the UK. A friend has a
requirement for a small mast exiting vertically through a tile. Access from
above and below is quite easy. Can anyone suggest a supplier and give any
tips on the installation? In particular the question adequate
weatherproofing is obviously of considerable importance. Answers from those
with practical experience would be most welcome. TIA.

Thanks Bill and also to Glenn. This sounds just what is needed.
Unfortunately Satellite Solutions don't seem to stock them any more.

Brymar do one on this page
http://www.brymar.co.uk/acatalog/TV_...Plates_16.html but
its a bit pricey !!

See if you've got an aerial wholesaler nearby (Eurosat / Alltrade) and just
walk in there with some cash. Should be about £25 - £30

I bought two last week, and there was no comment about them being
discontinued.

Everything on that site is a bit pricey. 50p for an 'f' plug? 'f' line
connectors at 99p! Bloody hell!

They are advertising a loft mount as suitable for soffit mounting. Funnily
enough I have just received a picture of a high gain aerial mounted on one
of these. The mount has failed and the aerial has fallen. Possibly the
aerial was too heavy for the mount. I wouldn't use one of these mounts
outdoors though, no matter how light the load.

Glenn, how did you cut the tile on a radius, so neatly?
