Hello to all, I have been reading for some time and never had anything to add 
until now.  I have learned a lot and want to thank all of you for the valuable 
information.
 
To protect my coax from squirrels and the weed eater... I use 3" perforated 
drain pipe.  I saw a cut down the back side and make it into a large piece of 
wire loom with a hand jig saw.  Your cables can be slipped in and out just like 
wire loom.  There are slip on caps that can be cut to fit over the ends.  About 
$49.00 per 100' roll.

Duh...

I thought everybody knew you're supposed to throw the pipe.
