Ryan, I would think that the vertical beam width of the antenna you choose would have something to do with it. Do a little trig and see if the signal hits the rooftop or clears the edge; throw in some safety factor. Also, calc the freznel zone at the edge of the roof. Just my gut

I always put my omnis at least 1/2 the diameter of the roof, (water tower or silo), higher than the roof if in the center -- Ryan Spott wrote: I have been offered the roof of a barn in my area to mount 900, 2.4 and 5.8 APs. What is the minimum height above the metal that I want to be at
