Ive just built a summerhouse at the bottom of the garden and am now running swa down the garden to power it. The maximum sized cable I can get hold of easily is 4.0mm. I need to up the load capacity as I will be running electric heaters, tv, pc, etc etc down there. Now, the question I have is whats the rule of thumb with running cable in parallel connected at either end? I assume that if I run 2 x 4.0mm cables in parallel that is equvalent to 1 x 8.0mm right?

it might be more effort but it would be worth looking for somewhere to get thicker cable, what about getting it delivered?

That costs money, the 4mm is off the back of a lorry
