Installing the Antenna onto a Wooden Surface

The satellite antenna can be installed onto several types of wooden surfaces. This section describes installing the antenna base plate and mast onto the side of your house or on a deck rail or floor.

Do not mount the antenna onto composite (also called particleboard or fiberboard) surfaces unless there is a wall stud or rafter located where you will be installing the mounting hardware. Composite materials are not strong enough to support the antenna during strong winds and other violent weather conditions.

Have the following tools and materials handy during this process. Items marked with an asterisk

Installation Procedure

1)Select a secure site to install the antenna base plate:

Wall Mounting

Deck Mounting

On the side of your house. Locate a wall stud onto which you can install the antenna base plate as shown. Wall studs can most easily be found by looking for the line of nails that shows where siding is attached to the house or by using a stud finder.

On a deck railing or floor. You can install the base plate onto a deck rail or on the deck floor as shown.

2)Place the base plate so the center holes align with the centerline of the rafter or stud (see diagram). While holding the base plate in place, use a pencil to mark the location of the top center hole onto the mounting surface. This mark indicates where you will be drilling later.
