Been looking around for quite some time to find a plastic standoff for
my ladder line

i need to attach it to a regular 1 1/4 tv style mast and standoff about
4-6 inches and hold the ladderline


does anyone know of any SPECIFIC places, url's company's, etc where i
can get some?


thanks

thanks to all those that responded, i should have mentioned that things
with metal such as hose clamps or screws are out as the metal would
bother either the ladder line or nearby antennas prob be small, effect
i guess but still wish to avoid metal

my mast is pvc-- the idea of using pvt T's i think was interesting i
thought of it but didn't kinda workout right, the electric fence
post standoffs were great i've got a few kinds however i can't fine a
way to mount them onto a round pipe the fence standoffs have a hole to
mount via a nail /screw into a flat surface and i didn't want to use a
metal nail


i can't really seem to find anything that would be able to clamp onto a
round pipe stick out about 5in or so, and be nonconducting w/a 'thing'
that could 'hold' ladderline


considering just desiging one and having a plastic company make them for
me custom, if there was a bunch of people /ie a small market for them
it might break even enough to cover the costs i dunno if anyone else
ever has this particular or pecular need??

anyone want any?? i mean would you buy a bag of them for a few dollars?

Use UV resistant tie wraps.
Feed the tie wrap through the insulator loop over the wire/ladder and
feed back into the insulator. Fasten the tie wrap around the pipe.

Report back.

A metal nail is resonant at such a high frequency that it
wouldn't bother anything. How about brass screws?

You should be able to attach the electric fence standoffs
to the pole using black UV-resistant tie wraps. You may
have to drill a hole at the proper place on the standoffs.
