How high above a shed should the drop be installed?

The drop should be installed at a height of 3 feet above the shed. This height is important to ensure that the drop line has enough clearance to prevent accidental damage and to allow sufficient space for activities that may take place around the shed. Installing the drop too low increases the risk of it being obstructed or damaged by outdoor activities, gardening equipment, or even snow accumulation.

Setting the height at 3 feet provides a good balance between accessibility for maintenance and protection against potential hazards. This height is typically in line with industry standards, creating a safe environment while still allowing for serviceability in case of any necessary adjustments or repairs. It facilitates clear passage and minimizes the risk of interference with the structure itself.
