Hi, I have searched through the forum and just can't quite make my mind up as to what I am doing is the right way so I am just hoping for an answer on here. My apologies if I'm asking something which has been asked many times before. I have to run some power to a garden shed to supply a socket and a light. Then also some power to an avery for lighting and heating. What I propose to do is run a length of 6mm T+E from the RCD protected CU to a new CU in the shed. I'm not yet sure of the power of the heating in the avery so I will have to decide on the MCB for that later on. There is a spare way in the house MCB which I will run out of to the shed possibly protected by a 40A MCB. From the new CU in the shed, I will have circuits for shed socket (16A MCB), shed and garden lighting (6A MCB) , avery lighting (6A MCB)and avery heating (MCB unknown as yet)(4 circuits). I want to keep the avery and garden lighting seperate. The T+E will be underground and I will run it through that blue water pipe that mains water is now fed through and put some warning tape around it. I appreciate any advice you can give me on this. I haven't worked with SWA before, so as long as it's safe, I would prefer to use T+E. It's all being buried a long way underground, I've seen the channels dug for me in the garden and afterwards these channels are being concreted over as it forms the edge of the patio area. Cheers, Ben
