Ah, yes, and I can recall a similar situation:
My lot in Billings, Montana was rather small in the back yard and I could
not stretch out an 80 m sloper all the way. I had it stretched out as far
as it would go to a cedar fence and the final 3-4 feet 'folded back' along
the top rail of the fence.
One early morning, before daylight, my neighbor who was outside retrieving
his newspaper was knocking on the shack window. I went out to see what the
problem was. he allowed that he had seen sparks and small flames coming
from our shared fence at 'bout where the sloper was tied off...
I 'allowed' that I would go and see. I, for the life of me, don't have any
idea what it could be. (Hi) Consequently I made better arrangements on that
'tie-off'. ( Later on after he went to work, though.)
Whew!
