muddy right around the cabin and I want to channel the water away. In the
winter, they become ice days, dangerous and heavy.

Does anyone here use a heat strip to keep the ice down? There are two 35'
runs.

Steve, these really work well. We used them years ago in 'another life' and
we did not have the auto sensor control, having to rely on memory and a
switch. Spend the $67 on the 'Optional RS-2 Roof Cable Deicing Control'
since you won't be around to monitor it and leaving it on will be costly.
