Got a pic and how many panels? Have you considered making the area underneath a no maintenance zone ... (i.e. put down a weed barrier and cover with something)? Mulch, pine needles, thin layer of rocks/gravel, etc.? A bit of work but then you are done. Just a thought... I've got a PITA area at my parents' (about 1K sq feet) that I'm doing that too ... with about 30 plants, weed barrier, and long leaf pine needles... no more mowing around, annual crepe myrtle trimming, and weekly edging a 120' driveway side ... for me .... yay
! But I'm earning my freedom once with some bucks and sweat this weekend... once
