I remember the video....I think you broke the J-pipe.

We did a video years ago showing the pull out forces with several
mounting methods.
The stud is extremely important. The forceplate made the dish and
mount stronger than the roof as I recall.

If that's the WB SL, then that mount is too long for that size dish.
To get that height tou'll need one with a stabalizer arm, or a tripod.
Also the force required to pull out the lags will be 3x greater if you
hit a stud. You might try lagging through the center holes on the
mount into a rafter, then put in the 4 corner bolts just for stability.

where the lag bolts are coming out of the roofs during wind events.
I inquired about the Force Plate and was told they don’t make it anymore.
What are the rest of you doing for this, or are you using the smaller
KP dish? I’ve been sticking with the WBMFG dish, even through awful
availability problems, but perhaps its time to cut ties.
