need the experienced gurus to check my plan.
i plan to run Unistrut vertically with it attached to a base and a top pipe, span will be about 7 foot. i plan to run my panels horizontally, they are about 60 inches wide and 30 inches tall so if i use 2 Unistrut's for each vertical run of panels (3 panels high) the 2 Unistrut's will carry the three panels and have 4 points of attachment for each panel.
so do you think 2 Unistrut's will carry the 3 panels for the 7 foot, I'm worried about wind and maybe to much deflection by the Unistrut. the panels should hang past the Unistrut about 10 inches and have about 50 inches between the Unistrut's. i could add a third Unistrut, just more cost but maybe cheep insurance from failure.
