We currently have a guy wire on our property, that we feel is a safety haza rd. We have called PG&E, and they have agreed to come out and look at the problem. We have suggested to them, that a guy pole would solve the issue, but the pole would need to be mounted about 60 ft away. Does anybody know if there is a maximum length that a guy wire can be? Any help appreciated .
Does the guy wire actually land on your property or is it in the right of way? Does an easement show up on your plat?
Yes, I bet the guy at the utility company knows. They have engineers to do that and will not take the advice of a guy looking on the internet.
The existing wire may be on the right of way also. Most property lines stop a few feet from the road even if you have grass there to cut.
Googeled this up:
Lot of factors to consider like materials and even soil.
It is the first 24 feet of grass at my house. The pavement is 18 feet wide, the ROW is 66 feet.
He could do that himself for about $5 Just cut a slot in a piece of 1/5" PVC pipe, slip it over the cable and cinch it down with a few hose clamps. After a few months you can take the hose clamps off. It will have taken a set, closed up.

In regards to the question of guy wire length the utility would like to kee p it to as close to a 45° angle as practical. I have seen some utility pole s that must be held up by imagination...
"1.5" ?

If you hold up a utility pole, is it considered a hate crime?

No. But, never try that with a Czech!

No, because you are not profiling a particular utility.

But I am targeting a particular pole. You know, the utility kind. The kind that is a jack of all trades, like a utility baseball player.
What is so unsafe about a guy wire?
Is it invading your "safe space"?
How many injuries have *actually* occurred by this particular guy wire in the last 100 years?
The question isn't about just *any* guy wire, it's about 1 specific guy wire.
Your question should be: What is so unsafe about the guy wire?
Why does that matter? Does an accident have to occur before an unsafe condition is removed?
We're living in a world of lawyers and whatifs. The local utility guys put traffic cones by their vehicles when they're parked. I've seen them do it even when they're parked in fields.
I've had three utility guy wires in my yard (easement) for 35 years. I've never suffered any injury from them. I can't imagine how they would ever be a "safety hazard".
And until there is an actual injury, you can't really call them a safety hazard.
If the OP is really that worried, plant some 5' tall ornamental grasses around them.

But you didn't specify the owner of the pole. All utility poles have an owner usually specified on a metal tag affixed to it with the pole number o n it. That's what the utility wants when there is a problem such as a crash o r fire. They didn't want no stinkin address! Used to use binoculars if I couldn't get close to it. Now they just accept "next to".

That is training. Also the fact they if caught without it they could lose their jobs.
