I currently have a 585ft Bev, which at around 200ft has to pass over a
gravel track which is 12-15ft wide. Currently I have installed 2 poles
either side of the path. These poles are 20ft high (so a horse box can pass
under). I have had to guy the poles due to strong winds here by the sea.
They look unsightly and draw attention to the Bev.
The Bev is 6 to 8ft in height apart from this section which slopes up and
down from the poles to cross the road at a height of 20ft for 15ft.the slope
is gradual on either side of the poles until it returns to 6-8ft.
The Bev seems to work fine.
I am contemplating doing away with the poles and burying the wire 2 or 3 "
under the gravel track. I am using WD1-a wire.
Has anyone any experience of the effect on performance. I will be burying
approx. 2-3% of its total length.
Thanks for your comments and experiences.
