[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1080208, member: 369937"] A T90 is a very large a heavy dish, it has quite a wind load, so to mount it above a roof gutter I would suggest using some ridged electrical conduit, (not the thin wall stuff) your local hardware store may sell some. The ridged conduit over 2 inches I use would need a hydraulic bender to even start to make a dent in it, it is also galvanized, and you can add to it with threaded couplings. It would hold that T90 very well, and you would only need to attach it at the base and at the roof eaves, if you have concrete at the bottom of where your mounting the dish you can use two heavy duty "L" brackets at the base, with a 3/8" grade 8 bolt through the brackets and conduit, you can also embed the base in concrete if you dig a hole. As to the eave mount, a small piece of unistrut with the correct size ridged conduit clamp will hold it quite nice at the top. Here is one install I did.
