Thanks for the close up. I think I will go with this design as I can get all of those parts locally. I like the wide base, to distribute weight more evenly. On Tue, Jul 30, 2013 at 3:13 PM, Ben West b...@gowasabi.net wrote: If you need, here is a close up of that 3foot tripod screwed down to

For ultra low-cost non-penetrating roof mounts, I've been playing around with J-Bars salvaged from discarded Dish TV equipment, mounted to a base made from scrap treated lumber and weighted down with cinderblocks. Then, I mate a vertical length of EMT conduit, 1/2 or better yet 3/4, using a

B VERY careful when using treated wood on a metal roof. It will attack and eat right through it. I caught my first do-it-yourself mount before it got through the roof of a multi-million dollar house. At a minimum use a roof pad. If you can't find one for cheap then ask around your friends

Yep, sorry for not being diligent about mentioning (or photographing) the roof mat. None of the rooftops I've mounted on are metal, but even still a roof mat is a good idea to keep the wood from slowly rotting away the tar-paper or whatever the roof is surfaced with. Thanks for the tip about

Pretty sure the roof is rubber, but I haven't been on it yet. Roof mats are definitely a good idea. Years ago when I worked at a WISP, I think we used rubber truck mud flaps. Cheap and can be purchased locally. On Tue, Jul 30, 2013 at 4:16 PM, Ryan Spott rsp...@irongoat.net wrote: B VERY

Harbor Freight foam puzzle mats work alright as well for pads. $6.99 for 4 on sale almost every week. I'm with Josh though. A pallet with some mats under it works wonders. If you find a source for the plastic pallets they work even better. On Tue, Jul 30, 2013 at 5:41 PM, wi...@metrocom.ca
