[TowerTalk] Buring Bury-Flex

[Bill]

Ive got over 300' of it buried about 4" below the sod, never a problem
in 4yrs so far. Of course rocks or gravel aren't present either. From 50
degrees below in the winter to the 90's in the summer, never a problem,
tough stuff. Even have about 60' of it running thru a pond that freezes
completely in the winter.
