soils require a larger concrete pad.
2. The wind load recommendation assumes proper installation, proper
anchoring, adequate soil, and total instrument projected area of less than 2
square feet. The amount of wind load that this mount can withstand is
affected by quality of anchoring and installation, soil type, and the number,
type, and location of instruments fastened to the UT10.
