Last summer I put up 3 sections (two regular, one with the triangular
top and thrust bearing) on the back deck of a two story wood framed
and sided house with a Rohn bracket about 15' above the deck. I was
able to get lag screws into two outside wall studs, one of which is at
the end of an interior wall. I have a little C4S (12' boom) on a 2"
mast about 6' above the tower. So far, so good ... but the windy
winter season in the High Sierra has just begun.
About 40 years ago my Dad and I put up 5 sections (four regular, one
with a tube top) on a concrete pad with a homebrew bracket about 12'
above ground. That bracket was much heavier than the Rohn part. We
bolted it through the brick wall to a matching metal plate on the
sheetrock inner wall. It held up a 16' tribander for about 6 years
without incident in the Washington, DC suburbs.
