    It's good to see you scaling up. The design looks well thought out. Does it track N/S for the seasons, or E/W for the days? Hopefully N/S.

    Hey Papajunk.... Looking good. I like the improvement of the corner bracing. Great idea. You can mention me in your video i do not mind. Very nice work.

      Thanks. Sure glad I saw your video. It is so easy to tilt. The corner braces were some of the cut offs. I hated to see the go to waste.

    This is great. Ive been looking for a solutionand think this would be perfect. How do you keep the tilt fixed? I have a bunch of leftover 1/8" stainless steel cable, beefy eyelets and turnbuckles. I wonder if i could rig something up to hold the panels' angles between monthly adjustments.

    • @kevincrawford2027
      @kevincrawford2027  Před 10 měsíci

      I have angle iron braces on the under side. They have five holes to make seasonal adjustments. Because it is balanced it is very easy to make the adjustment.

    Could you explain more on the clips you made to hold the panels down? No Unistrut? Oh, I see the update vid. Thanks

    Where those videos? I like it. I don't see how you put some of the nails in against that middle support.

    How far apart are your posts

    • @kevincrawford2027
      @kevincrawford2027  Před 9 měsíci

      About 9 feet. The size of your panels would determine the spacing.
