I want to get a solid fixing to the ridge of my conservatory to hang a projector . Not sure if there is anything available to do this, or if I need to construct something The projector and mount is about 3.5kg, and I'll need an extra bit of something to drop it about 90cm which might add what, another 1kg (this bit still TBD depending what kind of fixing to the beam I can make)
The beam is aluminium I believe, and 15cm wide. The top of the section is flat and cannot be screwed into, but it does have what I can only describe as wings on either side that the plastic covering clips to and have some space above them. These wings are about 4cm wide but I'm not sure how easy it would be to screw into those.
I was wondering if there was something available that I could clamp around the wings. I've tried to draw a simplified cross section of the beam, so something could grip along the whole of the wing, or dig into the channel.
Or perhaps I could bolt a plate in from the inside that would be hidden underneath the plastic cover?
Or another thought that just crossed my mind, I could drop 4 threaded bars from 4 holes in the wings - would make for easy adjustment?
