[QUOTE="boltonsparky, post: 500279, member: 4678"] I'd ask your neighbour and just clip direct to the fence, it's easy to get hung up and overthink things, what about if x, y and z happens but in reality a cable run along the bottom of the fence isn't going to come to any harm, the main risk is if the fence is replaced but you'd be consulted on that before it happened anyway. If they refuse I think your baseboard idea is a good one. I'd avoid any hanging from trees and installing poles to catenary wire it. For a run that long you're going to have some serious tension which means hefty poles, even with intermediary poles. The main thing is catenary wire/overhead cable runs just look like a dogs dinner, bear in mind you, and more importantly the mrs. is going to have to look at it for the next however many years. They have their place but in a nice garden isn't it. The most important thing is what the spark who will be installing it thinks as no matter what you go with or try to push for if the spark isn't happy it won't be getting signed off. [/QUOTE]
