Gino,

Can you clarify what you mean by "parallel" and "perpendicular" 
(relative to what)?

Well imagine that we have a big wall...were we would install a wall
mount base and the 4"pipe, the Pipe would potrude from the wall and the
antenna would be installed in the upper part of the pipe above from the
wall ... Point is we could install stabilizing  arms to the pipe and the
wall... They would be parallel to the wall ... But we don't ahave any
other surface to intall a stabilizer in a perpenticular way to tha wall 

Clear? No?

How about the other wall?  If you have to, go up 5 feet, so people can walk
under, then brace at 7 or 8 feet. It would be even stronger if you could run
a 45 gusset from the cross piece to your rail on the other side. And just
like in the first photo I would run a second set of braces higher from one
upright over.

Check out the stuff Nello has.  www.nelloinc.com.  They have a bunch of 
different mounts.  I would think if you call them, they would offer some

Re: [WISPA] How to stabilize Pole for 30" Drum Antenna?

2009-05-17 Thread Tom Sharples
I'd suggest using standoffs (also made with threaded pipe) to mount the main 
vertical pipe away from the wall by, say, 12" to 18". Then install three 
stranded steel  with cables along the length of the pipe, a three-way 
spreader somewhere near the center of the pipe, and solid anchors at both 
the top and bottom. At the bottom, install turnbuckes at the end of each 
stranded cable. Tighten as needed - you're done.

Re: [WISPA] How to stabilize Pole for 30" Drum Antenna?

2009-05-18 Thread Tom DeReggi
Also... Dont under estimate how heavy 4" pipe is.  Escpecially a 10 ft 
peice. Definately takes two people to lift. And not eay to lift hanging over 
a ledge. Personally, I would consider it an unnecssary safety risk, to mount 
a 4" pipe over edge without ground directly underneith, just for a 30in 
dish.  If you are having to brace your poles anyway, I'd argue that a 3" 
pole would be plenty sufficient for 30" dish.
I'd be lobbying for a non-penetrating roof mount for on the other side of 
the railing, even though it is technically offlimits.  We generally don't 
allow building management to call the shots on engineering. Instead, we do 
our best to accommodate their wishes, but if some restriction they ask is 
causing a safety hassard, we instead attempt to convince them why we need an 
acception, and why it is to their advantage to accept our suggestion. 
Everyone wins in the long run, and they'll likely respect you more for 
bringing the situation to their attention.

If you MUST mount at that position, I can make the following suggestion. 
A cantelever mount creates strength by increasing the disatance between two 
mount points. There is no reason the two mount points must be to the same 
wall surface depth.  My suggestion is to use the lower wall, even though it 
is recessed 1 ft back further.  Use the wall section between the louvered 
windows, and put the bottom mount there, about 3 feet below the top mount. 
The bottom mount of course will have to have a strut that extends out to the 
distance parallel to the top cement mount point, so it can clamp to the pole 
and keep it verticly true. The top mount point must of course be aligned 
with the bottom wall mount point, between windows.

With Cantelever mounts, and tall masts, what you worry about is the screws 
getting pulled out of the concrete, because of the leverage of the top arm 
where the dish is. There is also risk of concrete cracking, when using thick 
anchor holes, so close to where the railing post is getting secured. So your 
top mount would be stronger by keeping it centered in the middle of the 
thicker concrete wall.

There are other technicques, such as mounting to the bottom of the overhang. 
For example, if you let the pole drop 2 feet below the concrete overhang, 
you could then angle a strut back to the underside of the over hang. 
Again, the secret to a strong cantelever is the distance between the two 
mount points. Because the mast is going 10ft up, it make sense for you to 
drop as low as possible also to create stronger cantelever.

alternatively, There are some very heavy duty tower mounts ment to offset 
masts 2-3 feet away from the tower. One of those could be used for lower 
mount, or two of them, if needed.

They offset mounts are shaped like...II
   II
   I 
I
In the above there are two hotrizonal and two verticle masts welded, to make 
the mount.

If you only want to use the main songle concrete overhand, you can do it by 
making a triangle prism. Basically you use two of the above mounts. They 
each mount to the concrete at 2-3 ft apart.
Then rotate the outside pole of both mounts towards each other until they 
connect and touch. Then mount the 4" mast at that point, to the combined 
mount masts. What that would do is it would allow you to spread the windload 
across 4 mount points, and two seperate stress points on the concrete. You 
could then use 3 ubolts to clamp the mast to the mount extentions.

Anyway, they probably already make a mount to do exactly that.  Windstar did 
something a bit different. Sometimes I;d see... They'd have a triangle 
shaped platform mount, where the 4" pole's base screwed down into the 
platform, then the platform mounted to the wall. It would usually have two 
heavy duty  mount points horitontally seperated, then one verticle angled 
strut down to the wall.  .

Gino,

I had a 3' Radiowaves dish installed (for almost a year) on top of a 
10ft 4.5" mast in a similar situation. I used the clamp linked below to 
attach it to the railing.
