I wish to build a shed, but the location I want to use has an overhead power cable running from the utility pole to the neighbor's house. The line has about 12' of clearance from the ground.

Is there a minimum clearance for overhead lines over a shed? Or is the site just not feasible?

  • That's pretty odd their overhead is running across your property. Kind of a dumb question; you're sure it's running over your property, opposed to just thinking it's yours because you've used and maintained it for n years etc?

    What pitch is the roof on the planned shed? (Yes, it actually matters, bigtime even)

    I've got the neighbors service drop running through the air across my property. Must not be too uncommon...

  • is that shown as a right-of-way on your deed/survey?

  • The utility pole is in the rear middle of our yard. From there it distributes power to both our houses, with the line to the neighbors crossing our yard at a diagonal.
