Overhead garage supply question

[Midwest]

3m would be tricky if its a bungalow....

Be okay if it was a block of flats

Would that be U.V resistant Cable ties?

Yes that's a very good point, otherwise they'll soon be falling off, white ones are the worst.

Metal cable ties and if you use flex do not pull the ties too tight and leave slack at both ends.

Not much point in discussing what the OP is on about unless he replies.

Cheers for replies,

I'm using 4mm from a 32A breaker to a little 2 way garage board. I'll use metal/uv tie wraps

The 3M is the lowest point the cable will be as it enters through the brick of the garage.

I read somewhere that 3.5M minimum height is a recommended but not compulsory height. The entry point is above a place where literally no one would walk - skirting around the edge of the garage foundations. In practical terms the back garden drops down below that and is lower than 3.5M from the cable.

I'm using this for my STROMA assessment but I'm unsure as to how hey will weigh up installations that are safe and practical but may go into blurry territory re. the regs. I mean would they tell me to change it? There's no realistic way of having the cable come into the garage any higher and going underground would be massively disruptive and expensive for the client.

Hi - as the OSG has recommended min hts and (if I understand correctly) you are not quite using those I think it's a coin flip on whether you get pinged for it on an Assessment. Perhaps the aerial cable route was pre existing?
Edit : I don't see Assessor instructing you to change it, but they may not accept it as the evidence they need to see from you.

I would email Stroma and ask, no point waiting for the day of your assessment.
