I don't have deer or squirrels and no trees....I'm on open pasture land.
The coax run is 200' and I can't imagine having urine all over the
place....ugggh.
Steel pipe works great.

My squirrels were gnawing the top rail of my redwood deck and where they
urinated it bleached the wood. I chose a more final solution--an efficient
killer trap from Forest Supply, ordered on the internet. 1 jar of cheap
peanut butter will provide bait for probably 100 squirrels. 
Those (#($((%) squirrels  --eastern Grays, which are an invasive species
here in CA--are very aggressive and push out the native squirrels,

After 20 years of no problems, they chewed up my rotator loops on my treetop
array, which eventually caused me to replace everything, at enormous cost. I
have no empathy or sympathy for them.

The deer mostly break my Beverages.
