Ryan,
Run away now.....that cast iron has no ductile strength. Wind loading
from that really big "sail" will
snap that pole. He would have to guy wire it to make it even somewhat
feasible but I would not
mention that to him!
Good luck with that.....

Wrenches i have a customer that
wanted to install a dpw top of pole mount for 18 sharp 180 watt panels.
he installed his own pipe and even after several reminders by me and a
signed contract stating shcedule 80 8 inch steel pipe he installed a 8
inch cast iron water main.
My dilemma is this he claims to wave
my liability in this install but he has been a very high maintnence
customer and seems to forget everything we talk about or he signs. so
would you go ahead with the install or is the cast iron going to shear
off and the rack fall over?
financially i have met my
obligations with the customer i can wave the labor cost and tell him to
find someone else at this point if need be i dont want to be liable for
spilling 18 panels on the ground and my insurance wouldnt cover it as
we went against dpw's recomendations
