Built this for a three story apt. bldg. It is basically a fence that will conceal the a/c units so others cannot see them from the roofs of their bldgs. I kid you not, this is a town ordinance for this place. A/c units are 30" x 30" & fence is 66" tall x 11ft. x 10ft. so it's covering a small box with a large box.
I made the structure from 3 x 3 x 1/4" alum. posts, 1/2" plate feet, & 1.5 x 1.5 x 3/16" cross bars. Three sections that bolt together (front & two sides), hoisted up with rope on the outside of the building. Bolted through the roof with backing plates on the inside also. It will get covered with aluminum slats, kind of like louvers. Mostly migged with spool gun. Roof pitch is 8" over 10ft. The builder was impressed but said nobody is ever going to see it except the a/c tech.
