SATELLITE DISHES ON BALCONIES

For condominiums, areas of exclusive use are usually balconies and patios. Condominium associations can prohibit anything that extends beyond the balcony boundaries, including installations on balcony railings (see picture on left) and patio fences. If an owner does not have an exclusive use balcony or patio, the association is not obligated to provide a place to install an antenna.

There are several ways to install satellite dishes on balconies without damaging the balcony. One method is to use a concrete bucket as pictured on the right. Owners should check with their satellite company for recommendations.
