Will I be able to cut the post shorter and mount it on a metal roof top? I can make a simple bracket.

Well the post comes in two parts that screw together, but I think it would depend on the wind where you live. The pole is about, I guess an 1/2" I think, I guess it could be done. The top is made very well.

There are 2 screws that tighten and secure the cap to the post so by using longer screws it should work.

It depends! I know that is not an answer but here are my thoughts. The plastic is only about 1/8" thick so a sign on a bracket will be stressing the attachment screws. However, if you have installed the post over a 4x4 wooden post you might be able to use long 1/4" hangar bolts into the wooden post and thread a nut just up to the plastic. Then attach the sign bracket to it with another nut. If this is not clear, send me your email address and I will send a drawing. I am at jlfunk@optonline.net. Good luck

It will not mount on a post un.ess you have some kind of hanging bracket that would screw o the post. It is designed with a metal hook on top that you hang from a tree or another hanger.

You could do it but it is not straight forward due to mounting locations being not the exact same. If your handy enough you could do it.

I bought the post with it. And I sent it to someone else. I assume you could jury rig it with a 2x4 or some such as a base.

The simple answer is yes. You may need to be creative in the way you mount it.

I'm not sure about putting it together like that. You would lose some stability because there would be nothing to keep the posts in place. Don't think that would work.

Yes. The pvc "collar" band that you see that is approx. 12" from the top can be moved, so you can cut this any length you like. The instructions tells you to anchor a 4"x4" wood post in concrete then you slide the pvc post sleeve over the anchored wood post. You can cut the pvc and the 4x4 post any length you like if you want it shorter. Hope this answered your question. Thanks.

I don't why you couldn't, as long as the metal truss system can support the weight (which no reason to believe why it wouldn't), and its thick enough to mount the bracket to. As long as the metal on the truss is as thick as a standard wood truss you should be fine.

No you just don't want to hang it too close to your roof overhang...mine's at chest height so I can service it easy...

I do not see how you would modify the kit as all the brackets are pre drilled. It would be possible to reduce the length, but you may have to drill some new holes in the brackets. I like the product, however. There are similar products that are shorter. I plan on getting a second, but I found another one of these that is only six feet long and not eight. I would guy that one.

Maybe, but either way the bracket will need some heavy modifications. It's cheap thin metal so its easy to cut with the right tools. May need to add some supports if you want it to support the weight of the headlight.

Yes, if you apply a gentle pull the bar pulls from the bracket and you can then cut it to length. I did this for one of my locations.

I'm not sure, I had to bend (modify) the small metal brackets that clip on the roof edge. It isn't rocket science, but it does take patience and trial and error.

As I recall, there is no height adjustment and I don't recall if you could cut some at the top of the post. In short...I don't think you can adjust the height.

Yes but you have to have special mounting brackets. A guy could probably make something.
