The installation is correct if the node does not easily move from side to side,
and the connectors are oriented to the ground.
Note:
If you need to, add other straps or a sling to increase durability of the
attachment to the pole.
Best practice:
Use a spray to prevent corrosion on the bracket and mount
hardware.
