Installing Heating Cables
This is the pattern I use for my 40ft. soil heating cables that have a built-in thermostat. It is important to have the thermostat in-between two heating elements and about midway through the image the power cord can be seen on the left hand side for orientation. This pattern is held temporarily in place with bamboo stakes and it can be very helpful to let the cables heat up in the sun before trying to get them to lay in this pattern. If it is a cold and/or cloudy day the cables can be plugged in and allowed to heat up to aid in trying to reduce the frustration of installing them.
Testing the cables before installing them each year is highly recommended to ensure the time spent will produce the desired result.
