A sort of "cheese slice" for pedestrians in an accident! :cry:

Damonski:
That also saves me a job, as I wanted to pop these wires on too.

Oh well, off to find something to add instead  :D

Arightpest:
I use red ratchet straps so they can be removed easily there a lot wider than wire so a little bit less cheese wire but still keep the tree’s branches away. I only use them in Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire due to the amount of trees. (Still illegal I know)

TimM:
I wouldn't be sure, but I suspect if used properly there would be no problem with these 'illegal' wires:

If you add them to your vehicle to make it look 'trendy' or 'butch', and drive it round the roads all day (looking all shiny) then you can expect to get stopped by the police..... illegal......dangerous..... blah blah.

If you are using them an a 'branchy lane' at not much more than walking pace, with little or no pedestrians, then I don't think there would be a problem.

I'm basing this on the fact that if you carry an axe through a shopping centre, you are likely to be locked up, but if you are using one to chop wood or fell a tree, then nobody is going to label you a murderer.

I suspect the same applies to the wires.

 :wink:

:D
Yes, I do plan on making these removeable, and only plan on using when off road in the tree'd areas.

I started to acumulate the hardware today and hope to complete the job before this weekend as we are planning a trip up Mt Baldy.  (Pikes Peak area Colorado Springs, CO USA)

Thanks to those who provided constructive advice.  I appreciate the wisdom. :idea:

Plz continue to send any other thoughts in the meantime, I will let you know when its completed. :?:
