[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 554965, member: 175057"] Running the cable through the loft or around the brickwork of the house is not always an option and running the cable over the roof is certainly a last resort as causes premature cable wear. There is no problem per se with running the cable around/above the gutter, but the cable must not be allowed to sit in the gutter and there are a couple of ways of preventing this. I either use cable ties and anchor the cable to the gutter mounting brackets in several places, or suspend the cable above the gutter using either cable ties or steel lashing wire. Obviously if there is space for the cable to be clipped on the facia board above the gutter, then this is preferable, but there invariable isn't space. Very often customers are not prepared to pay for the time involved in completing long cable runs, so not surprising that inadvisable methods and shortcuts are often taken. [/QUOTE]
