Great company to deal with and post out very quickly
The 12inch galvanised ones are very very strong

Craig so you think the 24 inch ones are a bit much then?? Are the 12 inch ones big enough for say a 21ft pole and the Antron though just incase I decide to go higher??? | |

| The 12 , 18 and 24 inch refers to the standoff measurement , i.e. From wall face to end of bracket less 3 inch to the centre of the pole
If you don't have a soffit board and guttering to clear then the 12 inch ones will be more than adequate , you can also increase the gap between top and bottom brackets for even more strength

| As Craig said it is more to do with how much you need to stand the pole off the wall to clear guttering etc. I've used the smallest C shape ones on a conservatory which are only 6 inches, I currently use 24 inch ones on the house I'm now in. | |
