Hello, Holt~<br><br>Consider calling a company that specializes in outdoor sign installation. They could install the mast as a subcontractor. They also have wind loading tables for vertical surfaces instead of sloped tracker surfaces but that could get you a good start on the engineering.<br>

How about a Simple Timber Frame Jungle Gym /Tree House/Ground Mount.. a Screened in Summer Bug House /Studio??? How about a very large Hop Trellis? Personally I avoid Pressure treated.. I love working with native Cedar and Tamarack... Might want to get a good nail banger involved.. 30' is up there.. I do have a few pics if you're interested... good Luck. db<br>

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Tall pole mount<br>

<div>Situation: Client has limited locations for array due to trees. There is one spot that would work IF pole mount is 20-25' (that would put the array top edge at 30'+). Will need to incorporate tracker to maximize production. Will definitely be consulting structural engineer.</div>
