Where to Install the Universal Antenna Mount
Here are some suggestions on where to install the Universal Antenna
Mount:
1Rooftop. When installing on a roof, make sure to properly seal any penetrations
made by screws. Consider using pitch pads, roong sealant/caulking/cement, or
other weather proong materials.
2Wall / Siding / Fascia. Installing on the side of a building? Make sure the
footpad(s) are secured against a sturdy material. Damaged, rotted, or weakened
material may cause issues later on.
3Pole / Railing. If your roof or siding isn’t suitable, the Universal Antenna Mount
can be installed against a pole or railing. In such cases, hose-clamps or U-bolts are
recommended.
4And many more! Don’t let an instruction manual be the boss of you. You’re
Leonardo da Vinci, and installing this mount is your Mona Lisa. It includes mounting
equipment to enable its installation at a variety of locations! It’s called the Universal
Antenna Mount for a reason.
