Here is a pair of pictures of typical American overhead service. The top pic is the "older" style, which, among other things, had the service conductors hahging at just the right heigth for a volley-ball net.
The second pic is the mast that replaced it. Please note that, in addition to the support braces on the roof, there is additional support where the mast passes through the eave, and an attachment to the wall as well.
