I would like to run power out to a 'summer house' and greenhouse. Two separate buildings. A huge part of the expense is likely to be digging a trench from the house out to the two buildings. The furthest run is likely to be about 100m from the house (electrical source) to the greenhouse. I'd like to do that labour intensive part myself, but leaving the connections at either end to a qualified electrician. There would also need to be a junction at about 60m out, splitting power to the summer house and greenhouse: that junction box would also need to be buried.
Is this achievable? How deep does armoured cable need to be (beneath a lawn, but also spanning the underside of a little bridge across a tiny stream)? Can the same power cable be used to power 3 pin sockets and lighting, which is likely to be low voltage LED in the greenhouse at least.
