An accomplished aerial erector has to envision what will happen
under strong wind conditions.

Surely it would take a Hurricane to bring them down and as we don`t get
many Hurricanes in Jersey I am not too worried. If you look around at
other Aerial/Satellite erections on other buildings they don`t look any
less susceptible to strong winds. It looks to me like a standard
installation not any worse then many others.

No, i meant a strong wind would move that installation back and forth
more than enough to put the dish in and out of alignment.

A dish must be fixed to an unmoveable mount.
In this case the dish should have been on a separate short heavy pole
and mount, or wall bracket.

The installation is typical of many erected for distribution systems
in the last few years. It's a sad state of affairs. We spend a lot of
time repairing installations like this. Often the installation has
failed in the first few months or years. Many of the ones shown in the
www.wrightsaerial.tv Rogues Gallery are like this.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your opinion, as you are a
qualified satellite installer I do take your comments with more then a pinch
of salt. The only thing is that mast 1 is not pointing at the roof, if you
look at it on the same level its actually clearing the roof. I can provide a
photo if you like from my living room window which shows this quite clearly.

I am not an expert but these things are manufactured, not by the
installers but by satellite equipment makers, so if you want to blame
anyone blame them.

Now you're just talking out of your arse.

I`m learning all the time, I thought these things came as a set, ie you had
the aerial, fm aerial, pole and satellite dish all ready to erect together
but obviously as has been pointed out this is not the case, the only reason
why I think they used such a thin pole is so that it as least visible as
possible which would appeal to the customer.

No I am entitled to have the opinion that they will provide years of solid
service

If that's the case why did you ask for expert opinion if you were just
going to ignore it?

I was waiting for someone of Bill Wrights standing to provide comment as I
know I can trust his opinion, now that he has and has agreed with what has
previously been said then I concede that it is a poor installation.

I would think any type of aeroplane would bring the aerial down in the
event of a direct hit.

lol

All right then. I've passed no comment so far Nick, because others
have said it all, but just take my word for it, that is a **** poor
installation. I can say that just by looking at the pic -- in fact I
could say that if the pic had been taken from ten miles away in thick
fog. And don't you worry about whether I'm qualified to judge. Just
have faith.

Thanks for confirming other people`s opinions, I look up to you Bill you are
almost God like around here I was wondering why you had not expressed an
opinion so far and thought that was probably because you had more important
things to do.

True -- but somebody with some knowledge of engineering (mathematics plus
physics) has to create those standard formulae.

In fact, does not the modern up to date antenna installer have a
software program on their PC on which they virtually place the
elements on the pole and it calculates the necessary thickness
and diameter of the pole, and the required fixings and necessary
size of the wall bolts etc? ;)

There should be an iPhone app for that.

FWIW here is the photo showing the Aerial clearing the roof

So the useless VHF halo antenna is still shielded from that direction
by the roof and its contents.

I guess there were constraints about exactly where they could erect the
mast, in order for it to be in the required spot to make the whole project
feasible. I guess they could not just put it in the most ideal place because
connecting it up might then be ten times more difficult going down that
route. They must of surveyed the estate and decided that 2 masts were
required and that these were the best place to put them.
