Winegard CM-2012 Antenna Mounts & Kits (Chimney Mount)

Not much to say about these.. I have 2 sets (4 Strap Mount), to hold 20' mast and they work great... Had to replace 1 after 2 years, but it is windy here.. Will purchase again...

For an inexpensive antenna mount, you really can't beat this deal; especially if reluctant to drill holes into your exterior, let alone chimney. I would have given 5 stars but not for the size/gage of the metal strap. I would have also gladly paid a few more bucks for heavier gage strap (and associated hardware). Other reviewers make mention of needing help to place strap around chimney; of that I agree. Although I performed install myself, it would have been easier, safer and much smarter to have a partner. For anyone opting to take the risk of going it alone, be advised you will be somewhat challenged to loop two flimsy metal straps around your stack (one at a time) and then holding them in place while you attach hardware all while standing atop your roof and trying to keep from falling. In my case, I was on an average slope roof but very close to the edge. You could also opt to pre-assemble the hardware to the strap before looping it over chimney however, I managed to lose a nut in the process, hence the reason to revert to option A. All in all, this is a pretty good mount. I am confident that it will support the mounting pole however only time will tell if it endures the elements.

Great product however, the metal bracket that holds the strap is not sturdy. Meaning it should be built with stronger metal especially if you are holding up a large antenna.

Used this on my patio fireplace chimney to run lights and cables to for our sun shade. Was easy to install and worked perfectly for us.

It did the job for a very affordable price 14 for the mount and 20 for the antenna plus 22.50 for a splitter amp. I already had a preamp and cables Warner from time warner.

Easy to install, and sturdy. Directions were simple, I took me 45 minutes to install. I’d definitely recommend this mount.

I am unsure if this will hold up well and support my antenna pole for very long. The more you tighten the straps around the chimney the more it bends the metal part that you attach the antenna pole to, so they end up not straight and so your pole doesn't point up 100% vertical. I had to bend by hand to get them pretty much straight to vertical but I'm sure that as the wind blows the pole it's going to bend them back out of shape, if not break straight away. Also when you tighten the nuts down to hold the pole to the supports they also bend.Next time I'll order the one that I ordered before which is built of much sturdierr and thicker metal.

The only Issue I had was the straps were about a foot too short so I went to the hardware store and bought two pieces of all thread to extend the eye hooks and that worked out great.Bought a chain-link fence post to use as a flagpole as I was mounting a flag not an antenna.I used it to mount a political flag on my chimney as my yard ones kept on getting stolen.

I bought this mount to replace the existing one I had (different brand) that bent during a strong storm about a month ago. My first impression of this mount is that it is built better than what I had. It had radius bends at the corners for strength which I believe will help it withstand weather better. Time will tell and I've re-used one of the existing mount supports making a total of three now on the mast so it would be hard to judge these alone.

More difficult to install than it should be. The straps are thin and difficult to get tight. The eyebolts started bending out if shape before the slack was taken out if the straps. The brackets also warped and did not stay square which, in turn, reduced the already doing standoff. Seems this design may work well it all the parts were twice the size, but as it is, it's just passable.

Was a little tricky installing, I suggest cutting off the excess strapping you don’t need before getting started.Once in place easily supports an 8’ pole

It was easy to install with another person.

Works well, easy to install
