5LNB: fascia mount vs. pole

[iwc5893]

When buying a pole can you tell me what the width of the pole needs to be for the slimline dish to slide on it. Thanks for your help.

2" O.D.

If they already know it is a pole mount, they will supply it. Are they aware of your situation?

dont listen to them....

a side mounted dish install on a house with the 2 support brackets will have plenty support for the dish, i just installed mine on the roof and didnt hit any beams, just the wood, and added the 2 support arms. The mast didnt even move when i tugged on it.

Good luck in heavy winds. The mount could well pull out of the roof.
