<br>
I have used DP&W's top of pole racks for 20 years, but I've had my share of trouble, too.
<br>
First the lead times are horrible, sometimes pushing 2 months.<br>
Second, the cost is approaching the cost of the modules, especially for high wind ratings.<br>
Third, they just can't seem to wait till the paint is dry to pack the racks.<br>
Several times I've had to sand and repaint the main strong back, because foam, paper, or plastic wrap had stuck to the paint.<br>
This last time was the worst, and I was offered $50 for my troubles and embarrassment in front of the customer.<br>
They said I should have shipped it back. How much sense does that make: round trip freight shipping, and 2 more weeks lost?<br>
Here's a page of the manual completely stuck in the paint:<br>

<br>
Come on DP&W, you guys used to stand by your work.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
