Much is often written on which direction to park antenna beams, however:

I have observed on my Steppir Monstr that the whole antenna bounces around 
quite a bit
on windy days and I wonder if the weight crashing into a sudden stop might be 
more damaging than the constant (somewhat) wind.

It would seem that a dampening spring or something would spread the stop and be 
beneficial but that method is rarely mentioned.
