3 Star Inc 3S-FRM-200 Non-Penetrating Flat Roof Antenna Mount with 2.00 in. OD x 5 ft. Mast
Made in the USA!
Larger Multi-beam Satellite TV and Internet Data Service Dishes in the 2.0 sq. ft. range such as Starlink, AU9S Dish, DirecTV 5 LNB Dish AU9 Slimline, WildBlue, SuperDISH, DirecTV Ka/Ku (HD Dishes) and Satellite Dishes compatible with the SUPERDMOUNT, DirecTV AT9, DBS Direct Broadcast Satellite and FTA Free to Air are using the 2.00 inch diameter Masts to mount onto as this size reduces wind vibration, oscillation and loading. Some Signal Boosters and Repeaters will also mount to this diameter.
Non-Penetrating Roof Mounts can be utilized within various weight restrictions depending on the Structural Composition of your flat roof, and when set up on a Rubber Mat or Pad, will protect surfaces such as Shingle and Tar, Pea gravel, Membrane and bare concrete without puncturing or marring and help distribute the weight evenly.
Ideal for Light Off-Air TV and Wireless Internet Antenna mounting, is constructed of pre-galvanized 12 Gauge steel, uses 8 standard concrete blocks as Ballast on a 35.5" x 35.5" Base Frame. Mast pipe length may be 53" actual length for shipping purposes.
Height and Antenna Loading capability are dependent upon ballast weight. You need to Consult an Engineer to determine the Load Bearing Capability of the roof that you are entertaining such an Installation. It is Important to choose a Mount and Mounting Location with a Picture of the Finished Installation in Mind. Be Sure to First select a location that lends itself to applying a Load without Compromising the Integrity of the Material you affix to. Most Decorative Finishes most often do not have the Strength to Hold a Weight or Pressure without fail. Further, Think about what's underneath the exterior. Is it stronger, or will it yield to Pressure over time also? Weather Proof the Installation to Maintain the Integrity of your Home. Next consider the Location over a Lifetime of Adjustments, does it lend itself to modifications in Height or Direction? Larger Antennas increase the surface area presented to air movement, Hence, Wind-load does increase. As the length of the mast increases from Its last attached point on the structure, the torque applied in cantilever also increases with Weight and Wind-Load, requiring a more substantive attachment and Load-Bearing material. Keep the Distance Minimal from the Antenna to the TV's and Equipment you feed, as to minimize loss and the need for Amplification.
