That pic one of yours Ban?

Yup.

And before you say anything, since taken I have tidied up the exposed ends....

It isn't outside outside as in exposed to the elements

Meno's will be - one box on the outside wall of the house, on on the outside of the shed...

What I was getting at is the silicone will be in the back of the box (although we now know this particular box isn't suitable for this task), filling in the hole allowing the cable to pass through into the outbuilding. It wouldn't be directly exposed to the elements.

Sounds OK to me, not that often we see 4 core flex. Is this for the outside light installation?

The 4-core takes L/N/E to a photocell, and brings switched live back.

sorry been out all day, can someone post a pic of the boxes i need please, i want to go thru the back into wall if poss, i can run an earth from small CU rail to banjo.

A similar box which is a bit bigger, or now given the option how about running the SWA directly to the cabin CU.
At the other end is the SWA long enough to go inside? A metal box might be a better option, will aid you in earthing the SWA too.

not quite long enough to reach cu indoors, i could run to the cabin cu, perhaps gland to the bottom, appears to be enough room, drilling a hole?

 

[meno]

inside cabin cu

 

[Spark123]

Theres plenty of room in the bottom of the CU to put a 20mm hole in there with a holesaw.

ok thanks, just need to find a suitable box for the house end.

will post photo of the cabin CU when fitted, for the pro's approvals
