Now *that* is an *interesting* setup! It is slightly similar to ours, in that 
the wires are not very high above the ground... but do they have wires on the 
ground at all, there? With our system, they drop to the ground from the 
perimeter and run out the full 90 degrees, where space allows.

At least with wires on (or in) the ground, you don't get that very high 
voltage risk. I can't help but wonder if that would be a problem for DA's?
