Some Outdoor Stuff
Other Mounting Options
• Pole Mount
A pole mount is good if you want or need to install the dish
some distance away from your house. You may need
supporting guy wires if the pole extends too far above the
ground.
Do not use a pole mount in wet or marshy areas.
• Chimney Mount
You will need to purchase a special chimney mount kit. (See
your DSS
®
dealer for more information.)
Use the chimney only if you cannot locate a mounting site on
the side of your house, on your deck or patio, or on a pole in
your yard.
Your chimney must be sturdy and in good condition. High
winds can put great strain on the dish and the chimney itself.
To prevent heat or soot damage, there must be enough room
for the dish to be mounted without extending above the top
of the chimney.
Keep in mind—you may need to brush snow or ice off the
dish. The dish should not be mounted in a dangerous or
inaccessible place.
• Roof Mount
Use the roof mount only as a last resort. You can
damage your roof and cause leaks by sealing the mounting
holes improperly.
Problems with roof installations increase with the age of the
roof and the type of roofing materials.
DO NOT mount the dish on slate or shake shingles.
Keep in mind—you may need to brush snow or ice off the
dish. The dish should not be mounted in a dangerous or
inaccessible place.
