Proper Heating Cable Installation

This is the pattern I use which allows the thermostat to be in-between two heating elements. Also, you want the thermostat to be level if not slightly above the heating cables to ensure accurate temperature readings. The pale gray cord between the thermostat and the plug is a non heating element so keep this in-mind. Also, I use bamboo stakes to help with the prevention of two heating cables from touching before covering with soil. These are the heavy duty cables and they have worked work out great over the years.
