[QUOTE="Simba27, post: 89606, member: 182734"] I have the same dish and motor, mounted in a similar fashion. It hasn't fallen down yet, although my previous one did.O-Ha Two things I learned from that: Firstly I made a bracket that wraps around and bolts into the side of the chimney, so the pulling force is at 90 degrees to the direction of the bolts. Secondly, I've rested my pole on the small flat area, uphill of the chimney, such that the roof takes the weight and the brackets just have to hold it upright. I still worry about it every time the wind blows. My motor came factory set with the hardware stops at 45degrees each way. I've adjusted mine to approximately 90degrees and the motor certainly does struggle trying to lift the dish when it's canted that far over. I agree that some sort of balancing would certainly help it. [/QUOTE]
