Winegard DS-3000 J Pipe Mount for Antennas, 39"

First off, Winegard has been around a long time. I remember installing their brand antennas about 50 years ago so I know it is a reliable brand. I was impressed right off with the sturdiness of this mount. Better than most others I have seen and easy to install on our fence with two lag bolts. Be aware that when installing you will need to remove the vertical pipe from the bracket as the holes are not accessible with the pipe in place. Also that the pipe can be installed two ways, with the "J" up or down depending on your needs. Three bolts involved, two carriage bolt type to allow vertical adjustment and one cross bolt to secure the unit upright. Instructions included if you need them. Well built and a good value.

First, I had to put the mount on the opposite end of pole to match the Amazon product photo. But it was easy to do. This mount bolted to the outside of my metal building with ease. The base was short enough to fit between the horizontal metal siding ribs and had enough pre-drilled holes to simply lineup on a vertical post (building), mark with a sharpie and then drill/screw with (3) self taping metal screws. On a table, I added the weather station to the mount (station has to point North in its final position and be level), and then used the self tapping screws to bolt it down. You may have to pivot the mount/pole to get to each screw with drill. Check level and lock down pivot screws.This looked like a professional job when done and the station is in the air, level, pointing north, and sending weather info as required. Need I say more.

The quality is very high and it is incredibly sturdy yet light for a pipe this size (39"). I rate the product itself five stars, but I am actually going to give it four and take one away because the product listing did not mention the hardware isn't included. So I had to make another trip to the Home Depot to get the screws needed to get it installed. It's fine if they don't include the hardware, but the product listing should state that it does not come with them so I could plan ahead and have them ordered.As a service from me to other potential buyers, the Winegard instruction sheet recommends purchasing 5/16 x 3" lag screws. The mount has 6 holes drilled into them but they only recommend using the center two unless the mount slides on you, then you can utilize the additional holes to secure it even further.Also, the instructions say this mount is not recommended for boom lengths longer than 40 inches.

This J-Pipe antenna mount was purchased to support an FM antenna that will be connected to my stereo receiver. After examining many other J-Pipes on the internet, this particular one met my requirements exactly. It should be noted that the material is of excellent quality, coated to withstand severe outdoor weather conditions; the wall thickness is substantial as well. Additionally, this J-Pipe is reversible. I fastened the curved end to the pivot/mounting plate which enabled me to secure the pipe in a vertical position yet it was offset enough as to not interfere with the side of my house. This resulted in the pipe being held close to the side of the house with a portion of the opposite end extending beyond the roof line. This is a great feature and should not be overlooked. The mounting bracket is steel and can be secured onto any flat surface in a variety of positions. I'll be capping off the top to prevent inclement weather from entering the pipe. I've also wrapped tape on top of the unused holes on the antenna end.

This works well for the Starlink satellite. Very sturdy and easy to install. Good value for the money. We just wished it had the same little push in clips to lock the satellite but it fits pretty snug. no wobbles.

Due to some tree growth, I needed to raise my Dish Network dish a bit higher. This J pipe did the job. The Winegard J pipe diameter is exactly the same as the Dish J pipe, just as strong, but it's almost 2 feet longer. (From the bend, this Winegard DS-3000 is 34 inches long; my Dish pipe from the bend is only 12 inches long.)The roof mount for this Winegard is exactly the same as the Dish roof mount. So, if like me, all you need to do is get your dish a couple feet higher in the air, leave the existing roof mount in place, remove only the shorter Dish J pipe, and replace it with this one.Other than the bolts you see in the picture that attach the J pipe to the roof mount, there are no bolts included for mounting this unit on your roof. Also,to answer some questions I've seen posted about this item, there is no rubber gasket or any type of roof cement included for waterproofing the bolts that screw into your roof. You have provide those yourself.

Excellent product to accompany a 50/60 mile range small antenna.the price was right after my crude diy plastic pipe mount would toss and turn in the wind and wasn't cutting it. Went up in a matter of 5 minutes and used some walkie talkies to get my son to point the antenna for optimal signal directions in another 5. Has just the right height for to accompany my Winegard FVHD30H with low profile on my roof. Was able to get all the local channels plus way more in between in digital HD. For a one time payment of around $50 i have cut my tv cable bill for almost 4 years now. The local channels have most of the NFL, sports, shows, and news that I often watch, for everything else I have netflix, hulu, streaming programs etc.only cons is that it didn't come with screw for the base, then again..that doesn't merit any penalties on the rating....for (4) 10 cent screws.Final words...sturdy and excellent price.

I needed a mount for an antenna I ordered and have one similar to this already. I like the design and way it mounts, as it seems well made and sturdy. Only problem is that this mount is not compatible with the 5 ft extension mast that is also sold by Amazon. I need to return one of the items, just not sure which. This mount has a 2 in ID and the extension pole has a 1 1/2 in OD that is swedged so it can be inserted into the bracket mount.
