I've been comfortable with a single section of top rail held by a pair of wall brackets. I was able to reinforce the wall behind the siding with 2x4 bracing between studs, and bolt through the bracket, siding and bracing. about 3' of mast was below the peak of the roof which left the antenna at roof peak plus 7'.

The location was here in the NW, which gets a few storms that hit 100 MPH winds in any 20 year period. The antenna and mast went through a couple 60 MPH events before selling that property.

If the well is dry and you don't see rain on the horizon, you'll need to dig the hole deeper. (If the antenna can't get the job done, an amp won't fix it.)
