As the master-electrician for a show loading into a non-traditional space this May, I'm facing some non-traditional cable dressing problems. Namely, how to properly dress cable run over concrete and grass. The show itself is being mounted on a golf course and on the adjacent pro-shop patio and vehicle storage area, so cables are running over a variety of surfaces (wood deck, mulch, etc).
There area a couple areas where cable-ramps are likely to be our solution, but for running, say, a single 10' run of SJOOW 16-3 over a relatively low traffic area, that seems excessive. Are there any tape or dressing solutions I should look at? I figure gaff will just pull off the dirty surface like it does off a dirty stage. Ditto grass: should I stake into the ground??
(Bonus thought: this will be Spring in Chicago, so dry weather is not guaranteed. That's presenting its own concerns for the actual instruments, but weatherproof-ish cable dressing solutions would be ideal.)
