    I got curious and did some reading. You can be 14’6” in NE without a permit. But they have an exception if you’re over 12’6” you’re liable if you smack something.

    And Nebraska is a 14'6" state. There's plenty of signage on anything less than that.

    I'm 5'8" and they're somewhere between chest-high and shoulder-high to me, so probably around 5 feet.

    Well then the high cube container theory sounds plausible then.
