I wont do an install any lower than 20 ft. Even in suburbs, get it above roof line. If host isnt willing, i dont bother. So far no one has had any issues with an antenna sticking up behind their house.

how are you doing this? i have mine up about 12ft. i want it to go higher but there isnt a way i can get it mounted to the chimney without a bucker truck.

Have a 25 ft ladder. The only one the ladder couldnt reach was up at 30 ft. Had to get on to the roof snd stand at the peak. That house already had a 35ft antenna mast for an old Tv antenna. Just repurposed it.

I put one on a chimney that had siding too.


See if you know someone who would let you borrow theirs. Home Depot equipment rental has some 20+ ft tall ladders as well




ETA - there are other options, but can get a little pricey. Max Gain Systems sells telescoping fiberglass masts of different heights. You could check into one of those.

Im looking at grabbing a 40ft version and anchoring it in a 5 gallon bucket filled 3/4ths of the way with concrete. Since im doing 40 ft, i’ll just need to put a bracket attaching the mast to fascia for additional stability. I can carry all that in my truck to the location and pre-attach everything, just lay it on its side to extend it all out and then stand it up.
