jstorms Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Problem: Need to mount LOR controller on stucco column. Don't want to drill holes in stucco and need to be able to mount controller up high for roof lights.Solution: Strap on controller.Materials:* Drawer handle* #8 Nuts and 1/2" Bolts* 8' Lashing straps* LOR Controller (CTB16PC)Steps:1. Stenciled holes on inside cover2. Drilled out holes3. Bolted on drawer handle4. Fed lashing strap through drawer handle and mounted to pole5. Added 2nd lashing strap to cables.The controller is firmly mounted to the column.When we mount this for real it will be higher up and we'll also include a security cable.

Paul Roberson Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Cool idea. Going to be a slight PITA if you need to get inside the controller. I would have opted to bolt 2 pieces to the back of the box and strapped it that way.Not 100% sure how it would work, but its just my thoughts.

George Simmons Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Nice. I must admit, when I saw the thread title I had to satisfy my curiosity - I'd never heard of using LOR to control a strap on before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amcdonald307 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Would the 2 straps have been enough to hold the box in place without having added the handle? (Did you try it that way and have an issue?)The handle would cause a storage issue for me, but I admit I would like to have it when lugging them out to the yard. And I can see where that would be a point to attach a safety cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
