A standard install places the dish on a kickstand, eave, or ground spot with a simple cable run — fine when there is an easy clear-sky location. A roof pivot mount is for slanted shingle roofs and gives the cleanest, most weather-sealed result, which matters in coastal weather.
Pole and mast mounts handle tricky sky views. And for exposed coastal lots there is a third option the Starlink store does not sell: Starlink publishes no wind rating for the Standard dish and rates its Ridgeline mount to only 50 mph, so we build an engineered hurricane-rated pole mount — through-bolted or set in a concrete footing — for wind Dare County actually gets. Whatever the mount, the real work is a clean, sealed cable path and Wi-Fi that reaches the whole property.
