Hi Aaron, Granite is a great substrate to mount to (once it's done). You could weld a large flange plate onto the bottom of your pole, and bolt it to the granite using anchor bolts. Rock climbers (including myself) drill into granite all of the time. Bosch, among others, has a great drill and bit setup that works well. Glue in epoxies are a great way to keep moisture out of the hole for many years.
Ballast racks are available too but it seems like a shame not to attach to the granite in some way. Good luck On Thu, Apr 12, 2018, 7:28 AM Aaron Mandelkorn <reoso...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > I have a customer that requires a mounting option I have yet to > encounter.
