Just make sure it isn’t a faux parapet, just for show or to hide the ugly stuff on the roof.

This install is on a roof next to a parapet so mounting a stiff arm to the parapet will probably be the way to go. Thanks for the info guys, most helpful.

I have a non-pen with 15ft 4.5" pipe, just cant remember brand name at this moment. Are you mounting on a roof or anywhere near a wall? Even some angle iron would work as a stiff arm.

I have a ROHN 25 sitting in the back. I could make a sled for it. Would a 25 work? Or is it too flimsy?

The dish needs a stabilizer arm to tie back to something. Otherwise you will be visiting it often. If it’s licensed a 1 degree movement could mean the difference between a -60 and a -70. You could do something like the attached, but those are 4 foot dishes. 80 mph is roughly is somewhere around 700 foot pounds of torque on one axis and 900 on another. Thats a lot of power for anything to hold. There is a reason most big dishes are mounted to a tower near the guy wires on a guyed tower. For another example look at the picture on this wikipedia article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_broadband Justin Wilson [email protected] http://www.mtin.net Managed Services – xISP Solutions – Data Centers http://www.thebrotherswisp.com Podcast about xISP topics http://www.midwest-ix.com Peering – Transit – Internet Exchange On Jun 1, 2015, at 3:47 PM, That One Guy /sarcasm <[email protected]> wrote: on our 4' dish we had planned on using angle iron vertically in one corner of the tray with struts going down to the two corners left and right for attaching the stabilizer if we needed it On Mon, Jun 1, 2015 at 2:34 PM, Sam Lambie <[email protected]> wrote: Hey all, I am looking to mount a 6' dish on a 10' tall mast (4 1/2" OD) at the top of the mast with something like this: https://www.tessco.com/products/displayProductInfo.do?sku=504727 Using a Cinderblock tray as the base. My question is, would this work? And how would I keep the dish from twisting on the mast?
