Hello,
I was planning on installing a ring main in the garden but when I laid my nice new 2.5m SWA in the trenches, I realised I'd come up short somewhat.
So, rather than try and add a join to the existing cable, I was thinking I could just turn the whole thing into a radial circuit and abandon the return cable. Does that sound ok? Is there any regulations around this and Part P when it comes to the garden.
The only other thing I'd planned to do was take a spur off one of the double outdoor switches to provide a lighting circuit in the shed. The total circuit length (from a new mini consumer unit in an outbuilding) would be about 25m (or 50 if it were a ring main).
Cheers for any tips
Toby
