Eapele 10 ft Floor Cord Cover Heavy Duty Cable Protector, Easy to Unroll, Prevent Trip Hazard for Home Office or Outdoor Settings (Black)

I had been looking for years for a solution to my problem. My ignorant builder (as many seem to be) put the electrical outlet on my porch so that if I wanted to plug in Christmas lights etc. the cord would have to cross the walkway where delivery people and visitors walk. I didn't want anyone to get hurt, so I have done without outdoor holiday lights for 20 years. I saw this and the great reviews. I was able to order a 25 foot outdoor cord with surge protector strip at the end. I plugged it in to the outlet than ran along the wall, across the front door and down the other side. When I put this protector over it, it made the cord lie neatly against the foot of the wall. No danger of tripping. The yellow stripe makes it very noticeable to anyone approaching the house. It was a win-win for me, because the trim on my house is black and I decorate the porch with yellow items so it was almost like it was custom made for my house. I am ordering another one of a shorter length to cover the cord as it makes a turn onto the porch. The only caveat is that I was not able to cut it into shorter lengths with scissors. However, a box cutter did cut it (though a little ragged). It was very difficult for me to cut, but then a strong young man might not have any trouble cutting it. I will probably cover the opening on the bottom with electrical tape, just to make sure the cord doesn't slip out at a later date. This is one of the best purchases I have made on Amazon.

I was able to make my garage shop safer with this. I cut mine into two pieces so I could run an extension cord along the front of the workbench and across the back of the garage making no cords on the floor space.The channel is large enough for heavier gauge cords. This item is very substantial, I put tape underneath at regular intervals to keep the cord inside the channel. Any wide tape would probably serve the purpose, it doesn't take much to hold the cord in.

I tested this by walking as incoherently as possible with my eyes closed in sandals and not once did I trip over it. Protects the extension cord- check! Stays flat once settled- check! Nice sturdy material-check! Brown color blends in, but sticks out enough to notice- check!No tripping- check!

All good… no more tripping on the cords.

Great product

These were exactly what I needed for running an electric cord out side. These will protect it and prevent someone from tripping.

Sturdy! We have had one of these out to cover an extension cord that crosses our driveway and both the cord and the protector look like we just had them out there for a few minutes rather than the better part of a year. Awesome product!!

Product is as described and after 24 hours laid flat.
