Have only had this up and working for about a week, but I decided that a 7 foot overall height was a bit much for my 6" Z.
I placed some split shop-vac hose on a 1 x 1 aluminum c-channel from an old 6' wide vertical blind. Had to drill a few small bracket holes in the bot but such it goes.
The wires fit inside easily and the 110 from the router is taped to the outside of the hose and rides down into the channel. It takes a little E-Tape, but works very well so far. Some extra wire inside the curve makes the arch a bit stiffer.
Not quite e-chain, but seems to be OK for a town this size. Cost seems to be somewhere around $12.
It also improves the bicycle storage above...
