Start with the safe, simple option

Choose the mounting type after checking the sky view, not before. A ground mount can be the simplest and safest solution when it has a clear view of the sky and can be secured away from damage.

Work in this order

Use a wall or roof position only when it improves the view enough to justify the added access, structural and cable-routing work. Higher is not automatically better; the goal is an unobstructed result in the Starlink app.

Test before changing anything expensive

Consider wind exposure, fixing material, future maintenance and the path into the building. Do not attach a mount to an unsuitable structure or rely on an improvised fixing for permanent outdoor equipment.

Avoid these common mistakes

Where roof work, height or structural uncertainty is involved, use a competent installer. A secure, serviceable installation matters more than a visually impressive one.

Quick checklist

  • Confirm the current official instructions for your kit.
  • Keep cables protected and connectors undamaged.
  • Use the Starlink app to guide location and diagnosis.
  • Change one variable at a time.
  • Ask a competent installer for height, roof or structural work.
