Abstract
A support system may separate a structure from a roof of a building. The support system may include a base portion. The base portion may include at least one rounded edge configured to reduce the engagement of the base portion with the structure. A support portion may be coupled to the base portion. The support system may include at least one support channel sized and shaped to receive the structure. The support channel may straddle the structure when the structure is received in the support channel. The base portion may define at least one cutout configured to reduce the amount of drag on the support system, for instance when the support system is exposed to wind.
