The real-world result
My own Starlink installation needed extra height to achieve a fully clear view of the sky. I built a mast from a 6-metre scaffold pole, three tension wires, four wall brackets and a base plate. The parts cost approximately £120 delivered.
The finished mast has no noticeable movement or wobble. That is the outcome of this particular building and fixing arrangement, not a universal design anyone should copy without assessing their own wall, wind exposure, height and structural safety.

What I learned
The most important result is the unobstructed sky view. Height is only useful when it removes a real obstruction. A ground-level or lower mount is often better when it already has a clear view and can be installed safely.
What I would do before copying this approach
Plan cable routing before raising a mast, use appropriate fixings, consider wind load and get professional advice where the building, height or access makes the work unsafe. A secure mount protects both people and the equipment.
