01 / PLANNING
Map the places that need a connection
For a property around Weatherford, Denton or the outer DFW area, list each occupied structure and its use. A camera stream, a desk and occasional phone access impose different demands. Approximate distances and visible obstacles are more useful than the total acreage alone.
02 / PLANNING
Treat metal buildings as a design constraint
Do not assume the indoor router will cover a metal workshop from the house. The review should compare a dedicated access point, a suitable building-to-building link or cabling. A clear view between buildings helps some options, while buried work introduces utilities, permissions and a separate construction scope.
03 / PLANNING
Choose a maintainable dish position
A remote clearing may improve the view of the sky but also create a longer route for power and data. Evaluate access for repair and cable protection as well as initial reception. Avoid treating a tall pole as an automatic answer without checking structure and local requirements.
