If you're worried about a power line in the grill while gliding, a canopy cage is the answer.


Power line?? Are you saying that a canopy cage offers some small measure of protection (any protection at all) from the kind of wire strung between telephone poles (telephone wire, house power, coax cable)?

I was talking about the bare 12 gauge wires strung between fiberglass rods maybe 1 meter above the ground.


How about the wire strung across the field from a tree to the shed in the other corner?.
Fences are only one part of wire hazards.
