The Back Story

Innovative Roof Mounts: Revolutionizing Internet Connectivity

Roof Mounts, a visionary endeavor founded by Wayne Van Zyl and brought to life through a strategic partnership with Danie De Wet of DW Steel, represents a pivotal breakthrough in the realm of internet connectivity. Their journey began with Wayne's acquisition of a Starlink kit for his travels in Africa, a beacon of modern technology promising unparalleled internet access. However, Wayne encountered a significant hurdle upon receiving the kit - the absence of a suitable mounting solution for the Dishy when not traveling, the essential receiver pivotal for satellite communication.

Faced with the dilemma of mounting the Dishy on his roof, Wayne initially resorted to standard stands placed outdoors. However, this makeshift solution proved unsustainable as lawn mowers and playful children inadvertently damaged the setup, leading to costly repairs and inconvenience. Seeking a more permanent and robust solution, Wayne scoured the market, both locally and internationally, in search of a suitable mounting bracket. Despite his efforts, he found no viable options in South Africa, with the most promising solution hailing from Germany but marred by exorbitant shipping costs.

Determined to find a solution tailored to South African conditions and tile roofs, Wayne embarked on a journey of innovation and collaboration. Armed with his vision and a knack for design, Wayne conceptualized the ideal mounting bracket, meticulously crafted to seamlessly integrate with tile roofs - a prevalent roofing style in South Africa. Teaming up with Stephan Joubert, an expert in manufacturing and engineering from RSI Projects, they embarked on the arduous journey of prototyping and refining their creation.

Months of meticulous planning and construction culminated in the birth of the final product - a robust, purpose-built mounting bracket designed to withstand the rigors of South African weather and seamlessly integrate with tile roofs. The result? A streamlined installation process that eliminates the need for drilling, making it suitable for rental properties and homeowners alike. With the Dishy securely mounted on the roof and the cable discreetly routed into the ceiling cavity, Wayne's vision became a reality, revolutionizing easy roof access mounting points in South African homes.

The journey from concept to prototype to the final product exemplifies the dedication and ingenuity behind Roof Mounts. Now, these innovative mounting brackets are readily available on the Roof Masters website, offering homeowners a seamless solution to elevate their internet connectivity, CCTV, Flood lights, alarms and many more solutions.
