Color:
Must be “purple”—typically a standard agricultural or outdoor paint (like Rust-Oleum).
Neon, pastel, or blue-leaning shades may not qualify.
Placement:
On trees, fence posts, gates, or boundary markers—not random rocks or mailboxes.
At eye level (roughly 3–5 feet off the ground).
Shape & Size:
Vertical stripe (not horizontal or splattered)
At least 1 inch wide
8–12 inches long
Spaced no more than 100 yards apart along the property line
Random dabs, graffiti, or decorative paint do NOT count—they must be intentional boundary markers.
Why Purple? Why Not Red or Orange?
Great question!
Red is often used for surveyor marks or utility lines.
Orange signals construction or hunting zones.
Purple stands out in natural landscapes but isn’t used for other official purposes—making it the perfect “silent signal.”
Plus, it’s highly visible against green foliage and brown wood—yet subtle enough to preserve rural aesthetics.
