Would this be a better solution than a single vertical so I have
something to affix the strut to?

Our wall mounting option for the 4' antenna is limited to the
25g we ran up the side, the antenna will actually be 75 feet
up the wall from the first platform I dont think unless we
installed a standing platform we would be able to adjust the
antenna.
I think Im calculating right, its going to take 500lbs
ballast if I used a PRM4, but the lead time on those exceeds
our timeline so Im looking at the sitepro tripods.
We are kind of limited to the non penetrating solution
because with that we dont have to have a mother may I in place
A penetrating mount we will, and if a board member says
structural analysis we are shut down on time.
So we are limited to horizontal surface mounts
We can get away with small concrete anchors, but we are
talking 3/8" x 3" and I just dont see that that would be
safe. Where would I look to find the penetrating mount
anchoring requirements, I see ballast charts all over, but no
anchoring specs.
On another note, Ive never dealt with 4' antennas before,
apparently this has a strut. How do I attach a strut if I
only have the single vertical mast?

At the risk of getting my testicals chopped off, I’d
recommend wall mounting if you can. SBWM-412 from Sitepro
is $150 and the HWK58 for mounting is ~$30. Throw in 6’
0f 4-1/2” pipe for $160 and your looking at a solid mount
for $340 that takes less time to install then it would
take to lug the concrete up to secure a non-pen with a
4-1/2” pipe on it. If you need to use a non-pen, Id use:

That has got to be one of the best e-mails I have read
in a long time :-)
Commscope makes a nice option for a large non-pen mast –
but I’d steer away from anything with less than a 4” OD
mast for a 4ft antenna. Rohn makes a similar one, and
Baird has a few options.

*Subject:*[AFMUG] first approved licensed link mounting
I have two goals, mounting the bastard and grounding the
bastard
If you knew the volume of fecal matter I have had to ea
tot get this achieved you would understand my very short
fuse about dealing with dickheads like me that I have.
I need to first mount this thing. Its likely to be a SAF
link, and thats that.
Im going to take a moment to say that regardless of what
this final project ends up being, if you want one hell
of a sales guy to work with, Jerrod from
Moonblink(Jarrod Washington
[jarrod.washing...@moonblink.com
<mailto:jarrod.washing...@moonblink.com>]) is the shit,
if you badmouth him, I will come to your house, I will
castrate you, I will fry your man parts in olive oil,
give them a slight garlic and rosemary seasoning and
serve them to you over some white rice with a cane
vinegar brandy. I float out told this guy that after he
did all the work, my bosses would likely flat out price
shop his parts list. He didnt blink and kept on doing
his thing. If my daughter was old enough, Id marry her
to him.
In a perfect world, both sites will be non penetrating
mounts. One side is 3' the other 4'. The side that wiull
have the 4' hast the option of being mounted on a set of
25g we have running up the wall. The problem is the wall
mount is currently only secured every 20' with a 2" deep
concrete anchor, Im pretty sure this wont be sufficient
for a 4' antenna (currently we only mount 2' parabolics
to it)
We have the option to plow through the wall with plates,
but if we go to that expenses we might as well go to a
full non pen for a 4" antenna at the top.
Any advice on a non pen mount that can support a 4"
parabolic? This side we can do pretty much whatever, but
still want the smallest footprint.
The other side, for non pen, our partner claims to have
an 8' x 8' footprint mount, the best I ever specced was
10x10 so Im suspiscious.
Both sites are grain elevators. Im looking for the
minimum grounding to achieve a respectable level of
protection. If you send me an NEC link, you have no
value to me, Im not asking because I already know the
NEC spec and just want to brag about my testicles. I
just want a rough Idea of what it would take to get to a
point where with factory spec installation of a Lumina I
can meet the minimum ground/bond at an elevator and grow
from there.
