Re: NID in new construction cottage

said by MaynardKrebs:

Since you are just in the process of building the cottage, why not just run the conduit from the pole straight into the utility room - under the footing or thru the foundation before you pour the concrete?

When you run the Schedule 40 up the pole, cover it over with a 10' to 12' length of 3"x3" galvanized angle iron extending 12" into the ground. Use bolts to fasten the angle iron to the pole. This will give your cable huge amounts of impact protection (weed wackers, cars/trucks, lawn mowers) and make it really hard for anyone to cut the cable in the pole riser. 20 seconds with a handheld hacksaw gets through a Schedule 40 pipe - not so with a 3x3 angle iron.

You could also run your dummy cable (as suggested by EXBELLGUY above) inside the riser to trip the alarm and a local siren/strobe light if the conduit was cut. With a relay, you could then automatically flip on the perimeter floodlights and then have the motion tracking cameras guide the machine guns

p.s. - Forgot to mention that once you've bolted the angle to the pole, use an angle grinder to round-off the bolt heads so they can't be taken out with a ratchet or crescent wrench. At my weekend place, we ran the angle iron up to the same height as the phone/cable company laterals and cut down any nearby trees which could be used to climb that high.

That's awesome. LOL
