Hello all, I have been lurking here for some time and I'm now in the middle of a self install of my new AT9 dish.
My question is this:
I have mounted the J-mast base plate to my exterior stucco wall.
I used two 3 1/2 inch long 3/8' diamater lag bolts through the stucco and directly into a large stud. These go through the top/center bolt hole and the bottom/center bolt hole on the base plate. The mast is SOLID and VERY plumb.
Do I need to also anchor the four corners of the base with hollow-wall stucco anchors, or should this be fine?
This thing is REALLY in there tight with the two lag bolts now as it is, I'm just looking for some advice or someone to tell me if the extra bolts will be overkill or if they are needed for sure.
Thanks in advance!
