Because of skylights down the middle of the length of the E-W roof we are forced to mount the southern-most row only about 5 feet from the 20 foot high eave. Fortunately the slope is less than 10 degrees but perimeter warning lines are a must here.<br>Not wanting to appear a cheapskate here but I'm not surprised at the outrageous cost of "OSHA compliant" perimeter warning flag systems. Your basic fold up standards with nothing more than light-weight bases and multi-colored banner rope runs hundreds of dollars. Even sandbags for ballast are way overpriced.<br>So where are the affordable units available or is there such a thing? Better yet, has someone fabricated their own pro-looking standards and used the same off-the-shelf banner rope used in the roofing catalogs? I already have several hundred feet of banner rope just nothing to hang it from. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>thanks as always</span><o:p></o:p></p><p style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>Jim Duncan<br>North Texas Renewable Energy<br>NABCEP Certified Solar PV<br>Installer No.031310-57<br>TECL 27398<br>ntrei@1scom.net <br>817.917.0527<br>www.ntrei.com<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
