On one of them we shredded the metal of the foot.

I remember the video....I think you broke the J-pipe.

We did a video years ago showing the pull out forces with several mounting
methods.
The stud is extremely important. The forceplate made the dish and mount
stronger than the roof as I recall.

If that's the WB SL, then that mount is too long for that size dish.
To get that height tou'll need one with a stabalizer arm, or a tripod.
Also the force required to pull out the lags will be 3x greater if you hit a
stud. You might try lagging through the center holes on the mount into a
rafter, then put in the 4 corner bolts just for stability.

the lag bolts are coming out of the roofs during wind events.
I inquired about the Force Plate and was told they don’t make it anymore.
What are the rest of you doing for this, or are you using the smaller KP
dish? I’ve been sticking with the WBMFG dish, even through awful availability
problems, but perhaps its time to cut ties.
