I used some small 1/2 CPVC pipe with Tees at each end. I band- sawed one of the tees length-wise that screwed to the building to make it somewhat flat. Drilled a cross hole in the other Tee and tied the ladder line with Ty-Wraps to it, worked great and cheap!

I'd be curious to know of some inexpensive way of supporting ladder line or open wire line along a building. I realize The Wireman has an insulator for tower mounting but the things are over $3.00 each. Not good if you need a bunch of them. I have heard maybe someone is using electric fence insulators but for the life of me I can't see any large enough to keep the line a safe distance from a structure. (An inch or so doesn't seem safe to me if you are running maximum legal power.) Anyone on here with some suggestions?
