ok thanks, just need to find a suitable box for the house end. will post photo of the cabin CU when fitted, for the pro's approvals

inside cabin cu

not quite long enough to reach cu indoors, i could run to the cabin cu, perhaps gland to the bottom, appears to be enough room, drilling a hole?

sorry been out all day, can someone post a pic of the boxes i need please, i want to go thru the back into wall if poss, i can run an earth from small CU rail to banjo. Thanks

many thanks for your help, thats what i will do then. i have a couple of spare locknuts so i can sandwich the banjo. cheers, just waiting for the rain to stop so i can crack on!

thanks thats what i originally planned, just concerned about the T&E coming out the bottom of the box and into the wall (in the open unprotected). would it be better to go thru the back of the box thru the walls and seal the box against the wall? Do i need special glands for the flat T&E or...

ok thanks, thinking about it ill stick to 20a as the cabin CU is 16a/6a Is it ok to joint 6mm 3core SWA to 6mm T&E in a IP66 Junction Box, the earth size would be different using the 3rd core of SWA and the earth of the T&E, is this ok? Many Thanks

thanks, i got a night latch and it was as simple as unscrewing and flipping the bolt over.

I want to fit a night latch to my log cabin and wondered if its possible to use one on an outward opening door? Are they all adjustable if not what do i need to look out for thanks

thats what i thought, i doubt he had an electrician look at it

Been talking to some friends about my upcoming outbuilding wiring project and one told me they buried SWA just 8inches under lawn and put a scaffold board on top of it to stop spades etc hitting it :o they also said their electrician said this was fine, is that so?

Thanks for all your help, will go for 6mm buried to be on the safe side

Would it be better to put it in the RCCD side of the Main CU Heating, probaby a small electric or portable calor gas heater if required What way can i run the SWA and still get the OK from Building Control, must it be buried? what is classed as permanent?

Big fat cable wrapped in some sort of black tape coming from the ground understairs with live Neutral and a bare copper wire between the 2, does that help? I can go deeper just didnt want to disturb too many slabs, i cant clip cable to a fence post that is concreted in, but can to a cabin...
