That sounds like an insurance claim waiting to happen. I would be more optimistic if it was a flat roof, or if you were going to use guy wires. No way to put the 25G on the side of the building?
I know you said inventory on hand, but the only way I can think of to get 10 feet above a peaked roof with a nonpen mount would be one of these: https://www.bairdmounts.com/products/wireless/complete-list/Universal-Ridgemount-10-ft/Universal-Ridgemount,-4.50-O.D.-x-10-Mast-w-Pad?pid=1795 <https://www.bairdmounts.com/products/wireless/complete-list/Universal-Ridgemount-10-ft/Universal-Ridgemount,-4.50-O.D.-x-10-Mast-w-Pad?pid=1795&fid=91> &fid=91 From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of Steve Jones Sent: Thursday, March 19, 2020 2:27 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com> Subject: [AFMUG] Free standing 25g on roof (one section) Working on a possible project and limiting to inventory on hand. We may want to put some EPMP clusters on a piece of 25g on some roofs. 2 of the roofs may be problematic as they are steel commercial roof with a pitch and steel ridgecap. We have a pile of 25g sections on hand and a handful of baseplates. on the flat roofs I could probably just frame out a ballast tray from angle iron and fasten the baseplate right to that couldnt I? 10 foot freestanding A peak sled could be fashioned over the steel roofs, maybe, but historically we tend to just stay off steel altogether, especially if its pitched. Aside from chuck, who can make everything. out of normal onhand items most of us have in the dead junk rooms, how would you get 10' sticks of 25g to stay put with that kind of wind load? We have been deploying 3k sectors with the smart antennas, but i think in this projects case i would forego them to limit windload. Most of these roofs are relatively short, 20-40'
