Direct TV suppliers sell support strut kits but for 2” J-pipes which are now standard in the sat TV industry. I have bought struts for 1.66” J-pipes from AI Satellite but they are annoying to install, they don’t pivot in the right places to line up right. I wish the WISP industry would go to 2” pipes, or else someone would sell a decent strut kit for the 1.66” pipes.
I am also seeing sat TV installers go to these stubby mounts on roofs instead of the J-pipes, but again, 2” OD.

Since I don't think the basic mounts that we've used for yagis will hold up to the wind load we'll need to go with heavier duty mounts with the brace arms. Does anyone have vendor or product recommendation for mounting brackets with brace arms? Best practice recommendations?
