MOUNTING THE ANTENNA ON CINDER BLOCK
You can mount the satellite antenna on cinder
blocks, whether they are part of a wall or the
side of a building.
ࡗ The surface must be flat and even.
ࡗ If you are mounting the satellite antenna on a building, make sure that the surface is true
cinder block, not just a block facing over another material. If you are mounting the
satellite antenna on block facing, see Mounting the Antenna on Siding on page 6-16.
ࡗ Make sure that the cinder block and mortar is in good to excellent condition.
ࡗ Use toggle anchors and machine bolts, inserted into the hollow of the block, as fasten-
ers. Other types of anchors may not have the required strength.
Materials Required
ࡗ 4 toggle anchors, 1/4”
ࡗ 4 machine bolts, 1/4” x 3”
Tools Required
ࡗ drill
ࡗ 1/2” masonry drill bit
ࡗ 7/16” socket or box-end
