    <p>Nick,</p>
    <p>  In New Mexico it was popular on flat roof homes to lay down
      pressure treated 4x4's and lag your L-feet onto these then weight
      them down with cinder blocks filled with concrete, this would be
      an inexpensive temporary option. <br>

                    anyone utilized any ballasted style commercial roof
                    rack solutions directly on the ground? I have an
                    upcoming project that is only predicted to be left
                    in place for around 5 years and is on land expected
                    to be put back as it was found therefore concrete is
                    out of the question. I’ve successfully made
                    temporary arrays with standard rails and tilts by
                    pinning 2x wood material to grade but this one calls
                    for something lower in profile. Very minimal use is
                    expected during winter months so the lower
                    production of a 10 degree tilt is not an issue. The
                    Ironridge BX seems like it would be ideal and have
                    been told at conferences and distributor shows that
                    it would work but figure one of you may have
                    experience with this product or something more
                    appropriate and affordable? Perhaps even go for the
                    bonus of something with a 15 degree tilt if it
                    exists? I realize weeds and grasses will be a factor
                    as well but client can come up with many low tech
                    solutions for that aspect. The grade is quite flat,
                    few rocks and site prep can certainly improve even
                    more before the project begins.</div>
