Icicles around roof

[Mattslights]

I'm using 25mm conduit clips with 25mm magnetic hooks on colourbond. Unscrew the hook and put a M5 10mm hex bolt through the conduit clip into the magnet pot.

Hi Nojoy, how far apart do you space the these magnets on the conduit?

~1 every 2 meters at the joins between my conduit pieces

I did a similar thing for my roof outline.

Do you find they have scratched the colourbond much Kate? Considering whether to get some felt pads but worried it will reduce the magnatism too much

Thanks, were these already made or did you make them with up with a conduit saddle?

I found the other pack a little stronger. Placed the packs side by side against the metal shelving and the pull strength was just a bit stronger on the other kind ($28 for 6 v. $10 for 4).

I cut off one side of the conduit saddles & drilled the hole slightly larger. Magnets from aliexpress, screws & nuts from a local supplier

I bought these magnets, it has the male thread on it so only need the nut to attach it.

@Nojoy, I found that putting felt on them reduced the magentic pull too much and have wrapped in electrical tape to provide some form of protection against scratching.

Thanks elad315, did you attach the magnets directly onto the conduit or did you use conduit mounting saddles?

I am using two different methods
1. 3D printed clips for hanging off the gutter
2. Magnets to attach to the patio.

The magnets are pop riveted onto the conduit
