Copper turns brown in the end. Scrap cable sure is cheap.


The decision has been made. Bare copper wire just beside the ridge.


I'll be interested to hear how it goes. I am thinking about
trying it on a ground floor pitched roof, that I can just about
get to without too much difficulty, and I must have enough old
cable scraps that can be stripped and joined, so long as they
aren't tinned. :-(

I'll try to report back if only about the fitting. We are still just at
the decision stage.
Here, we are also going to try it on the pitched garage roof for the
same reason - it is easy to get to. It also collects the most moss and
debris from the trees.
