I get the yellow guy marker covers in 8' lengths for about 6 dollars each. I have been recently switching to what your talking about. Near the same cost but you can cut them longer which is nice if the wire is low hanging on a hill side or if someone is going to be driving taller equipment around the area.. I think I am going to purchase yellow paint like used in parking lots and gas stations to paint the poles once installed. Thanks Everyone

You can get it at your local HVAC supply store. Cut it into 10' lengths for each wire, and it works like a champ. On Sun, Sep 30, 2018 at 1:32 PM Adam Moffett < [email protected] > wrote: Oh my.
