My little movable panel set-up.

[edweather]

Took a while to get it together, but really wasn't hard to do. No reason to overdo the platform. Two 6' 2x6s and a couple of 3 foot deck boards make a solid base. The set of wheels was about $80 on Amazon. The mount is the eco-worthy set up for $100. Did need to add two pieces of 2 foot strut from Lowe's so three panels would fit. All together about $250 in it, not including the panels. It actually wheels fairly easily. My wife likes that part.
Cable management is next. ?

Yeh, more solid that expected. A guy did one on YouTube and it was a bit shaky. Getting the end panels on a support helped.

You mean zip ties, right ?

you are Right …..The wind is not your friend… this winter I tied mine to my truck when windy untill I can get some proper cement ground anchors put in this summer..

best to anchor it with a good quality (smaller/ medium ) size 3 strand nylon boating dock line … it has a a lot of stretch before failure ….. , like a fishing line , it will give alot and avoid shock load which can break the line Or the fittings.

.Ski rope (;bad) almost 0% stretch…

Yacht Braid (;better )about 12% stretch ,

3 strand nylon dock/anchor line ( best ) about 30% stretch… ….or it used to be …

All are strong when used for the proper duty….

best check specs nowdays to see if China ,in their wisdom , have changed the numbers
