The IronRidge® Ground Mount System combines our XR100® or XR1000® Rails with locally-sourced steel pipes or mechanical tubing, to create a cost-effective structure capable of handling any site or terrain challenge.
Installation is simple with only a few structural components and no drilling, welding, or heavy machinery required. In addition, the system works with a variety of foundation options, including concrete piers and ground screws. Compatible with soil classes 2-4.
IMPORTANT
• Locally-sourced 2” or 3” Schedule 40 Grade B pipe and mechanical tubing help you save on freight, while still spanning up to 18’ between vertical piers.
Refer to the following table to see how size impacts the East-West span between foundations. The table complies with ASCE 7-16 structural code. Values are based on 72-cell modules in Wind Exposure Category B.
