Edit: Nevermind, got the answer I was looking for online.
Apologies, can't seem to delete a thread here.

Safely routing electricity to my shed?

Might be wise to tell us the answer you got - there are a lot of people out there giving dodgy advice, especially on garden forums.
Advice I got was that for my work, since I'm not running a constant supply, I'm able to use a couple of long extension reels from my house. My concern was safety in the case that somehow the insulated cable was damaged, but I've been told that it'll trip a breaker. So as long as both socket and plug are out of the elements, it's a safe plan.

From whom?
To supply a shed, i.e. sockets and lights out there?
Were you asked if you had RCD protection?
Were you asked about distance and told about cable size? Did anybody do voltage drop and fault-loop impedance calculations?
- Not necessarily.
- The design and construction should be such that the cable doesn't get damaged in the first place.
Not necessarily.
