I am out in the absolute middle of nowhere in NW TN. I have a choice of installation locations, either of which will be done by a local licensed electrician I have found.
Choice #1 is the roof gable. But I understand that sometimes the cable becomes slightly dislodged and can cause problems? No way I could get to the roof by myself to check it out or fix it. Same with perhaps needing to replace the cable.
Choice #2 is a post mount in the back yard, about 35' away from the house. The Starlink app has indicated this would be a GREAT place for installation. First pic is the roof/gable mount area. Next pics are facing north and are app'd at GREAT.
Thanks for any advice. (I'm kind of leaning to the pole mount for ease of troubleshooting...)
Great pic! lol. 4-5ft from the ground is good, there should be at least another 4ft in the ground. It is good to get it up a little bit to prevent lawnmowers from bumping into it. You can go higher, it wouldn’t hurt, but I wouldn’t go any lower.
Hello Michelle, welcome to the community! I would say pole mount is your best option as well for all the reasons you listed. Your doing your homework and will end up with a great install because you have. The only thing to note on a pole mount is running the cable to your home, are you burying the line with a conduit or just the cable in the ground. Conduit is best, just make sure it's large enough to get the connectors through, 1 1/2 is plenty with a little to spare. Great pics for explaining btw!
