Hello,
Thought I'd take a survey. I'm planning out a ground mount racking system for 18 panels in portrait (6 columns and 3 rows, due to space constraints) and am currently looking at Cooper B-Line strut. Pre-Galvanized and Dura-Green are roughly the same price from my supplier, coming in at around $800 for the channel pieces alone. Hot Dipped Galvanized is more than double the price, coming in at around $1700 for the channel alone. I'd like for the racking system to last roughly as long as the panels themselves. I live in a rural, mountainous area, and away from salt water. Are folks having good success with Pre-Galvanized or Dura-Green strut in this environment? There's not much info out there on the internet directly comparing Dura-Green to Pre-Galvanized, but one document I found from Unistrut indicated that Pre-Galvanized was a step up from their similar "Perma-Green III" finish when it comes to corrosive environments.
Any input is appreciated. Thanks!
