When I had to put up a temporary radio mast recently, I used some one inch rubberised matting under the bottom of the mast and rested it on the roof to take the weight off the brackets, worked very well. :)

If you are buying a 1meter Andrews dish why don't you buy a Fibo instead?

because i wont get over some small ish trees the neighbour has, as they shield the house that back on to the back garden as i'm sure some one would complain if they wasn't there

the flat roof mount would need about 9 foot pole on it

so i'm shafted but not to worry not my house lol
