Is charging for it off the table?

In my experience people are a lot more willing to protect it if they get
charged every time the dog chews on it.

Run a stick of 3/4" PVC conduit through a table saw to make a slot in 
one side.  Depending on your kerf, make a second pass to widen the slot 
so a cable fits easily into your slot.


Cut off short sections to use for weed whacker and/or chew prevention.  
Slip the cable into the slot, secure it with standard conduit straps.


Cheap.

[AFMUG] handy dog proofing for service truck

[Steve Jones]

Being back in the grind now, Im finding installers just keep replacing
cable on animal chews. Yesterday I had to take everything off a yagi and
tapcon the pipe to a brick wall to protect cable from getting rechewed.
when I was installer kept random scrap stuff and DS mounts to run cable
through nice and ghetto when customers wouldnt screen off exposed areas.

I have some liquidtight scrap that might be worth throwing in the van.

this is all residential, we dont charge for service calls or incidentals,
so i need something on the cheap to stock in the van that doesnt take up
alot of real estate on the shelves.

I had even considered rigid 1/2 conduit and a bender, but I doubt most
techs weve had would be able to operate that
