That’s just asking for kids to crawl out on the beam and do stupid things!!
Looks sturdy & professional to me.
That’s actually a good solution! I used to do satellite installs for a living. Sometimes you just can’t get a good line of sight due to trees and such, especially in apartments where you’re kind of limited to using the balcony. The only other solution would be to mount the dish on the roof, but then you need permission from the landlord.
If you look above in the photo, no one else in the building needed to do that with their dishes, so it’s a little odd.
I’m with #2 and #3: this actually looks well-done. The only possible screw up here is if the thing is too low for the street below, but it might be above a sidewalk.
Of course, birds will sit on it and poop on people, so…
Yeah, well, there might be a tree or billboard or another building something in the line of sight that we can’t see here, like, behind the camera view. There has to be some reason for this type of mount, otherwise it’s an incredible waste of time, materials, and energy.
BTW, I HAVE seen redneck satellite mounts attached to trees before. If I ever see another one, I’ll try to get a picture.
Looks like it was actually competently done, as long as those guy-wires are secured properly.
Better than rednecks attaching them directly to trees.
Mine’s longer than yours!
Wait. I just noticed the 13+ dishes that are already mounted on every other balcony on the building.
So why did he need this, again? I think Clyde has the gist of it.
Those other dishes are all further back or higher up – there’s probably a tree or other obstruction unique to that part of the complex.
Okay I can buy that – but what about the one in the bottom middle almost behind the arch that is over the entryway? Wouldn’t that also be blocked by a tree etc?
I actually am impressed with this picture – at first glance, wtf? The it’s hey, nice work, solid. Then again, wait, what?
… or maybe all those other dishes get lousy reception.
@SC
I am sure that railing isn’t designed for that kind of torque.
WTF?? Why didn’t he/she share a duo/quad LNC/LNB with his neighbor??? That’s surely a STUPID solution !!! *rofl*
Yes, its me that has taken the picture and Yes I did fix the dish out there.
What the original problem was that there are serval satalites that can be picked up with the setup like the other dishes in the pricture.
But, naturally I needed to look at a different satalite that was just a bit to the left (just behind the building). So, close to the balcony I just can not pickup any signal, so zero signal.
Maybe not that clear on the picture but the dish fixing can rotate back to the bacony so during the day nobady can complain about the dish !!!.
Even with very very stormy weather nothing did happen with the dish.

I personally think it was a fantastic solution, even more so with the explanation from the installer/ownere. Well done WIN, IMO. Sometimes you just have to think outside the box.
