So what do I do? I am genuinely worried about a failure given the
dual threats of salt and high winds. Penny wise and pound foolish
could leave me with massive liability exposure, or a dead or injured
person, or both.
$200. seems cheap compared to the loss of the tri-bander and possible
damage to person and property. I find nothing on the Force 12 site ...
would love it if they could offer something that is salt resistant, safe
over
100mph, and under $200.
Is it really likely that someone not familiar with moving metal mechanisms
(such as a swinging gate) can design, build and install something safe
when exposed to salt and high winds under load?
Thanks & 73, DavidC K1YP
