Lavud to Be Stringent - Eruvin
Question
Hello
On electric poles there are sticks protruding diagonally in order to prevent people from climbing. If one attaches a lechi to the electric pole and the wire above is over these sticks, is this considered an interruption and a barrier between the lechi and the pole? Since there are not three tefachim between one rod and another, and if we say lavud stringently, they would seemingly form a roof that interrupts?

Answer
Hello and blessings
We do not say lavud to be stringent, and therefore the above-mentioned rods do not constitute a barrier between the lechi and the beam above it.
