How far above the barn will you mount the turbine?
I'm not sure yet, but most likely less than 10 feet. Probably closer to 5 or 6 feet. I found a local pipe supplier that has a 17 foot piece of 1.5" for a reasonable price. I need a minimum of 6 feet of pipe under the roof deck so i can clamp it to as much of the roof truss as possible. That leaves plenty to go above if I choose, as long as I can manage the extra forces from a taller above roof extension. I'll have to do some experimenting, plus my roof needs redone badly on the barn. That may take priority at the moment .
