Running a cable along railing

[mickfred]

Yeah just doing it now ,it's taking longer than i thought coz the candle keeps blowing out

Other than its not seen done that way, at the least it will be fixed/supported on the rail and is mechanically protected

I know in the colliery they could be seen along their length dangling from spaced out hangers with no problems,they would not have taken kindly to needing to trench the cable down there

I actually like the tray on the rail solution,it seems to be the ideal solution for both parties

going to try and get him to bury it cos it feel more permanent and the running around the fence double the lenght, but if i have to may drill the cross rail every 400mm and fit cleats cos cable tie is a no no

Measured it out about 55 m if buried about 140m if clipped . got round it by asking about water supply drains BT cable weight bridge etc . so now someone else can be the pioneer (a six foot run up to a control box for automatic gates does not count . 70m or more )

That's a substantial difference and I would definitely be running the numbers on that.

I take it you mean he got round it by asking about water, drains etc.?

No he didn't think about it ,portacabin 18.2 meters long so might include a swimming pool
