Hello,
we would like to install our satellite system on our roof, which has a 5° slope. The cables will not pass through the roof to avoid any potential weak points (they will be laid externally). However, our construction management is rejecting the installation of a mounting base where concrete slabs can be placed. They say the slabs would be too heavy for the roof. I find that hard to believe. Could the mounting base possibly shift due to wind?
Are the concrete slabs really a problem for a single-pitch roof?
All our neighbors have their satellite dishes on their single-pitch roofs. Strange, isn’t it?

Besides, I would never install an antenna on the roof like that...

But if so, then with a mast and a proper bracket that is securely attached to the roof.
