I BUT you could drop a short piece of strut hanging from the horizontal rail of the fence ( if it has one ) and use 703 straps to connect it together

How would you use strut in a vertical direction and leave the clamps loose to allow movement of the PVC as the code requires? (Will a '703' allow this?)

And would you really want to install a strut every 3' as required for 1/2" PVC?

I think you understand exactly where I was going with this, PVC is not the way to go in this example, by the time you jumped through all the hoops required to make it work the use of a metal raceway would have been cheaper and more efficient to install. And it wouldn't sag between supports after the first hot day. :smile:
 
Going outside of the code.... Is the fence on the clients side of the property line? I too have supported conduit on a fence a few times, but I once got busted during an inspection because the fence was actually on the other side of the property line - hence the fence was not allowed to be used to support stuff on the clients side of it - because it was an inch or so over.....

Food for thought..... It's like your neighbor intalling his satalite dish on your house which happens quite a lot here..... (Zero clearance between buildings in much of SF proper)
 
I am not a huge fan of PVC conduit. It works but the sagging that occurs shortly after installation is ugly.

I don't have a major issue with this type of installation, but its going to be ugly. I see this kind of thing pretty regularly but usually it is metal conduit.
