I did install an 8 foot dish over the roof top of a 2 story BRICK house (about 40 feet). The customer owned a metal building business and he had his welder put together a support from several sizes of pipe starting at the base with a large diameter pipe and gradually welded smaller size pipe every10 foot inside the previous pipe until he was able to clear the ridge top of his roof. He had braces attached from the brick to the pipe every 10 feet too. I was able used his company's bucket truck to put the dish on the pole. I had to pre-sweep the arch on the ground so I could get all of the satellites with the dish. He had one of the first GI 920 4DTV receivers in the area hooked to this dish. All of this was so he could watch NASCAR FEEDS. a couple of years later they removed NASCAR feed from C-Band and he was NOT A HAPPY CAMPER. The dish is STILL THERE but he hasn't used it a while! He asked me to sell all of the cband stuff for him BUT he is asking too much for it. I really need to go by his house & take a picture of the install! BTW he ALSO had words with the HOA. but he won out and they quit bugging him.
