The utility poles and other structures could also obstruct views of sky.

Stand in the area that you would like to mount Starlink to open the app and use the obstruction finder to determine whether Starlink has a clear view of the sky. That will help you get a general notion of obstructions within that location.
The other option: If possible, set up your dish using the tripod mount within an location around the area where you would like to permanently set it up. Allow the app to record information for a minimum of 12 hours. Then revisit later to determine what your view looks like. Check the table below to discover which mounting options would be the most suitable for your needs based on how obstructed your view will be from the mounting location:
Different types of mounts work with Starlink Once you've identified a suitable place to install your Starlink dish that is free of obstructions according to the Starlink app, you're able to choose a mounting option to make it a permanent fixture. In this section , we'll go over the various Starlink mounting options.
The structure you will be fixing to will determine the kind of mount is required. For instance, if you intend to mount it onto an external wall A J-Mount that is adjustable would be the best choice. For roof installations it is recommended to use you can use a Flashing Mount might be the best choice.
J-Mount - the flexible mounting option

One of the most effective mounting options for Starlink are the J-Mount. They are widely available priced, inexpensive, and versatile. You might even have one from another satellite service , such as Dish Network. You'll want a J-Mount that has a pipe diameter of approximately 1.5 inches to use in conjunction with Starlink, such as that of the Winegard DS2000A which is shown above.
The J-Mount solution requires only a small adjustments to connect to it's Starlink mounting tube. The most efficient method is to use u-bolts or pipe clamps to attach to the Starlink dish to the J-Mount. You can also drill an opening and replace the old Starlink plate mounting tabs with a bolt and nut.
Depending on the inside diameter of your J-Mount, you might require some spacer material or a bolt to fully fix your Starlink mast. Electrical tape will work just fine.
J-Mount can be used for: Eave/fascia, roof or exterior wall. Extremely flexible. Affordable.
The J-Mount might not be suitable forareas with an abundance of obstructions. The typical height for a J-Mount is 2-4 feet, so if you require more than that to the top of your roof then the J-Mount may not be the best choice.
Flashing Mount - for stylish and professional roof installations

The roof is the main area where people set up to install their Starlink dish. If you want a professional and hassle-free roof installation, you should consider a Flashing Mount. A Flashing Mount is installed under the top layer of shingles and secures to your roof's structure to provide a solid and durable solution that is leak-proof. Flashing Mount installations require not just the Flashing Mount in itself as well as a J-Mount or Starlink Volcano Mount in order to secure the dish the Flashing Mount.
Starlink makes their own Flashing Mount but you can get aftermarket options, like that CommDeck Satellite Mounting System pictured above available on Amazon.
The Flashing Mount is ideal to use for roof installations. Locations that are high in the rain/snow where leaks from the roof can be a cause for concern. Professional, clean appearance.
This may not be the best option for roofs that aren't covered with shingles. Installation is more difficult. Costlier than other options.
Pole or Tower Mount Tower Mount - for those times when your wall or your roof aren't suitable In some circumstances people might need to mount their Starlink dish far away from their home in order to keep it clear of obstructions. In other circumstances , a pole or tower may be required in order to achieve the vertical height needed to eliminate tree's around the house. Pole/Tower Mounts provide a solution for such difficult situations. Pole/Tower Mount is great for: Getting above and away from obstacles. When you're unable to mount to the roof or structure.
Could not be suitable to: Adding one of these towers or poles to your property is an enormous undertaking that is more difficult and expensive than other mounting options. It is a more bespoke installation process that will require more modification to the hardware than other alternatives.
A Rohn 40' Tower shown above would need to be combined with an adapter for pipes to match the Starlink mast diameter.
Tripod Mount Permanent or Temporary

If you're considering putting your Starlink dish over a flat area but require more height that a JMount will provide Consider using something like this Tripod Base made of heavy-duty. A Tripod Mount is useful for both permanent and temporary installation. It is possible to stake the tripod directly into the ground to create secure temporary mounting. If you're lucky, you might possess a flat rooftop could be secured permanently to.
The Tripod Mount shown above is with a mast that can accept its Starlink dish mast with some modifications (using pole clamps and drilling holes for bolts). You are also able to supply your own mast in any length you need, up to 2 inches diameter.
Tripod Mount is great for temporary or permanent installations on flat surfaces
Could not be suitable for: It takes up some space. If you do not anchor the Tripod Mount, there is a risk that it could tip over in windy conditions
Non-Penetrating Roof Mount - a permanent installation that requires no drilling For various reasons, some people will not attach a mount to the roof structure. That's where a Non-Penetrating Roof Mount comes in. Often referred to as a Ridge line mount, these types of mounts are held in place by weights (sand bags, concrete blocks, etc) and are not attached with screws to roofs.
The Easy-Up EZ NP-30-166 Non-Penetrating Roof Mount shown above is ideal for roofs with flat surfaces. It comes with an 1.66' O.D. mast, so you'll simply need to slide the Starlink mast in, and attach it using bolts, U-bolts or another type of fastener. You can secure this mount using conventional concrete blocks.

Chimney Mount made from an existing structure for more height For installations where you may require more elevation than the roof's peak can provide or for those who do not have roofs with shingle then a Chimney Mount may be a viable option. Chimney Mounts will use your existing chimney to secure an upright pole to mount on top of the Starlink dish. For the Wineguard CM-2012 Antenna Chimney Mount shown above, you will just need to build a mast which can be up to 1.5'' in diameter. It's also a good idea to measure the diameter of your chimney to ensure that the straps are length enough.
Chimney Mount is good for those who require extra height. When you don't have shingles, or when you have a roof framework or material does not allow traditional installations.
Could not work for some chimneys: Not all chimney types work using chimney-mount kits. Installation may be a bit more involved than other alternatives.
