height requirements for garage wiring

[jodil]

Do the same height requirements for SEC wiring apply to garage supply lines? These wires are a little over 7 feet high hanging over the back yard supplying power to garage...

Yep, same basic rules apply (10ft in this case), although the code reference is 225.18, as opposed to 230.24 for service drops.

I would suspect there's also problems with the wiring method (cable type, size, support, etc), but I can't tell from the photo.
