Getting ready to put up a 2 wire reversible Beverage and I have a few questions and looking for some ideas…

Sorry I’m sure this subject has been beat to death… I did some searches but didn’t find what I was looking for.

My understanding is the wires need to be in the horizontal plane to keep everything balanced.

Also I am assuming I can use THHN wire and twist it together and then put both wires on one insulator.

Or another way would put insulators on the side of trees and separate them by a couple of inches…like ladder line.

Just wondering which way would be easiest to build and give the best performance?

To me it would seem to easier to put 2 wires together on just one insulator.

I will be installing this on the trees in a heavily wooded area.

It seems building the antenna with 2 wires and keeping them parallel and same distance from the ground will not be easy.

Thanks
