Hi, I'm Andrus. This site is my build-in-public logbook for FalsMount — a no-drill Starlink mount for European standing-seam metal roofs.

It started with a very ordinary problem: the 4G/5G coverage where I live is unreliable, so I ordered a Starlink Mini. The catch is that the only place with a clear enough view of the sky is the roof — and it's a "Klassik" standing-seam metal roof that I really don't want to drill holes into. Drilling means leaks, and it usually voids the roof warranty. In the US there are tidy no-drill options for this. In Europe, for this roof profile, there basically weren't any.

So I'm designing one. FalsMount is a clamp that grips the roof seam without penetrating it, supports every Starlink dish size, and installs in about 20 minutes with hand tools. It's currently in mechanical design and regulatory review.

I'm writing down the whole process here — the dead ends, the CAD revisions, the clamps that didn't grip, the material choices, and the boring-but-important regulatory bits. If you have a standing-seam roof and a Starlink dish (or you just like watching a product get built from zero), follow along via the RSS feed or checkfalsmount.com for early access.
