Questions & Answers
On my house, I have a 20' antenna pole that is held up by one of these mounts, with the bottom secured in the ground. It appears to be holding up well.
They haven't been galvanized in any way. They appear to be anodized in a light color. Zinc coating is used on the nuts, bolts, and U bolts.
I believe it is already corrosion resistant.
Anti-rust coating on heavy-duty steel.

I used a pair of these to secure a 10-foot-long 1-foot-wide 1-foot-wide 1-foot-wide 1-foot-wide 1-foot-wide My weather station is mounted on the gable area of a storage shed using 3/4" OD steel conduit as a mast. They're extremely sturdy and can easily handle this conduit size (as opposed to what the product description suggests). A 5" standoff would have been great if they had made them in 1" depth increments. To get the extra clearance I needed to get past the roof overhang, I ripped 3/4" thick strips from a 2x4 and placed them underneath them. They're most likely exaggerated. They are reasonably priced for what you get (though not when shipping is factored in), and they are well constructed.
After I fixed a few very basic design and/or manufacturing flaws, such as the holes drilled in the wall brackets and the holes in the clamp brackets not only being different sizes, but also not being lined up when clamping a proper sized mask into the mount. Smaller bolts and nuts are provided to "fix" this - Of course, this is for your convenience. The "lag bolts" they provide to mount the wall brackets are simply too small in my opinion, so I upgraded them to the next larger size that would be compatible with the wall brackets' strength. Anyway, after drilling holes and obtaining appropriate bolts, I was able to mount a small antenna mask and feed with confidence that it would hold up. Although it isn't rocket science, it appears to have been designed and built by Fred Flintstone.
I only required one, and it performed admirably. I had a metal strap across the pole and mounted it at the eve. The TV antenna did not blow around in the storms we get, which is a big plus. The only way out (my own Fault) was to "support" the bottom of the pole on which the antenna is mounted (which, needless to say, it is now). It worked "perfectly" until a storm blew in. The antenna had been blown over and was now pointing straight up into the sky. Everything was fine (the mount was good and "still attached" to the house), and all that was needed was to mount something on the bottom of the pole to keep it from tipping over. This is a product I would recommend.
I bought another brand a few years ago for a higher price, but they are not as durable! They were functional, but these are made of a heavier metal. br>br>It's great that there are real bolts included. The lag bolts appear to be of good quality, and their heads are unlikely to twist off (although I always drill a point hole to avoid this). br>br>I don't have much to say about them except that they get the job done and make me feel very secure about my antenna mast.
This bracket is the cat's meow if you're looking for an antenna mass.
This was purchased to support an antenna pole against the side of a cabin. I used galvanized fence toprail, which holds it in place perfectly. I would purchase this item again.
Without hesitation, I added four feet to my HDTV antenna pole. Just make sure they're secured with lag bolts. For added support, I backed up the sheathing on my house with another layer of plywood.
I sent this back, and Tgey sent me another one, which they charged me for. Is there anyone interested in a cheap piece of metal and two bolts?.
