Hello, group!
Summary of my newbie questions:
1). WILL MY STUCCO WALL HOLD THE WEIGHT OF MOTORIZED "MKIT 1"?
2). IF NOT, WHAT SCREWS SHOULD I USE FOR ROOF MOUNT?
3). WHICH OF TWO MOUNT OPTIONS IS BETTER OVERALL?
I had no luck finding an
installer for my "MKIT 1" with
Satcontrol SM3D12 motor and 80cm Fortec Dish.
The one, I agreed with, did not show up, and he told me, he did not do motors before.
So, I decided to spend the money I would pay him, for buying a ladder, and other tools,
needed for DYI
installation.
The big questuion is, where should I mount it. My house has a slant roof, and stucco walls.
I live in South San Jose, and one of the house side walls looks about 152° W (almost my true south direction).
So I am thinking to put dish either on the roof, or on that wall up high.
I think, my "MKIT 1" came with hardware for the wall mount, like plastic anchors,
but will my stucco wall hold the weight? Which mount is better? And if roof mount is better,
what size of lag screws should I use? Also, I'm afraid of making damage to my roof.
THanks,
Any help would be appreciated !
