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?

You can also read about this in the relevant satellite forums, and it was also the recommendation of our satellite dealer (who didn’t sell them to me).
We have an 85mm (3.3 inches) Gibertini.
