They aren't light.. 130.1 lbs. So the stand would have to be pretty strong.
And be resistant to harmonic oscillation.
It would also have to be vandal resistant. Not easy to push over.
If we went up 2 feet, the snow roof would need to go up 2 feet.

I think the large snow roofs are needed, not only because of drifts building up around the units,
but to keep snow from floating down near the air intake.
Since that snow gets sucked right into the HX.

When I look at the snow under my deck, I can see hardly any snow blew in under there.
Just a couple of feet and it's bare ground.


Or, I could just forget the whole roof idea and start in at the first snow,
with a shovel, and completely clear the area 5 feet around the Sanyos.
And just stay on top of it all winter. Be good workout of us..
