Overhead cable

how far apart are the sheds?
how high is the other one?
The cheapest way would be to use a competent electrician, as he will already own the several hundred pounds worth of test equipment needed to ensure a safe job, which means you wouldn't have to buy it.
If there is no chance of vehicle traffic (which it seems to be) 3.5 metres is the regulated height for over head cables.
ban all sheds you really are a t****r i've come on here asking for some advice and thats your reply i now know that cable's must be over 3.5m high if they are to be run between buildings i was just asking for peoples opinion, ever heard the saying if you havent got anything good to say don't say anything at all.

Do you think that is all that you need to know?
To do the job safely requires testing, and the cost of the test equipment alone will be more than the cost of using an electrician to do the job, and since you also asked for the cheapest way, I advised using an electrician.
Yes.

What you asked was:
So since you mentioned safety, I took it that you were interested in safety.

Just WTF do you get the idea that it's OK to abuse people because you didn't happen to like the advice they gave you, even when it was a civil, complete and valid answer to your question?
I apologise if i've cause offence but ive come on here asking for advice to install a sub main and all you've done is tell me to get a competent electrician and then in your next post imply that there is other stuff i need to know.
Like?
Look i haven't come on here for a fight and i do sincerly apologise about what i said previuosly, i actually find this forum very helpful, i'm just not a very confident person and so like to get assurance of other people.
Don't really no what bongos problem is, as the first of those jobs has been rectified and the second was never a problem anyway.

1) I didn't go looking at his previous posts.
2) Yeah, right...
3) He clearly doesn't regard GN1 as something a competent electrician should have.
Yeah alright lads, i'm still quite young and that had been the biggest mistake i've made no need to rub it in, i now know that you must test everything before changing a CU i was just never tought to do it like this by my ex boss. You both must've made mistakes in your careers?
Its reasons like this that i now come on here and ask questions that may seem very basic to people like you.

Many, many, many. And anyway i'm only young too.
I have no problem - was just suprised at the random outburst after asking for help on here before! Apologies if I caused any offence.
