These are deicing roof cables. The difference between these and most is they have no built in thermostat. I use a heat mat controller with the sensor buried 8" deep to control all four locations. Since all of my hoops are the same size and the patch get equal sun I can do this. Otherwise I would have to have a separate controller for each location. This cables are strapped to 2"x 4" fence wire which is 3' x 5'. There is 60' of cable. These cable are about $45 each. The controller was $30.
