If there's no danger of mechanical damage then the main issue with being outside is UV from sunlight.
You can get cables like this: https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/NY1dot5slash3.html
which are UV-resistant, however a lot of people would probably use regular flex.

1):

2):

The reason you might be finding it hard to find 2.5mm² cable would probably become clearer to you should you ever try to fit that size into a plug.

Why on earth do you want 2.5mm²? Just how long is it going to be?​

I bet that the maker of that kit has.

thanks endecolp for your help and ban all sheds your nothing more than a forum troll, as i told you what wire it is and its not just a regular flex and the only 2.5mm on screwfix are for 15 metres or more when i only need 5 its clearly not a option

he only 2.5mm on screwfix are for 15 metres or more when i only need 5 its clearly not a option

So..... do not buy from Screwfix then!

Just about every electrical distributor sells SWA by the length and will sell to non-trade customers.
You are really making this so much harder than it needs to be.

kking - every single time your claims are shown, unequivocally, to be nonsense, you decide to try something different.

as i told you what wire it is and its not just a regular flex

You told us it was BS 6500 flex.

and the only 2.5mm on screwfix are for 15 metres or more when i only need 5 its clearly not a option

1. You've never said how long it was going to be, despite being asked.
2. If you need 2.5mm² (which you keep insisting that you do), then the ONLY reason for that would be that you need 25-30m of flex.
3. You can cut flex to the length you need with ordinary wire cutters.
