I would suspect that the fact that 'the shack' is going to be "taken down in the near future" is probably the main reason why he doesn't want to 'hard-wire' it.
This seems like a perfectly valid reason for a temp feed to me as long as the shack wiring is done well.The shack is about 10 foot away from my brick outhouse. In between is a big gate that is constantly in use with my motorbike and trailer coming in and out with some quite tall objects being in the trailer. The floor is concrete. So having the plug and socket setup would be ideal as I cannot run cable along the top of the gate as I couldn't get my stuff on my trailer into the garden and I don't want to cut a channel in the printed concrete as it would look terrible. Plus the shack will be coming down in about 18 months so seems pointless going to all the trouble also.
such as? please don't suggest those appalling black and yellow things in your search because they will be thrown away after the first few attempted crossings with his trailer.This seems like a perfectly valid reason for a cable all the way to the shack under a cover rated for vehicular traffic to me.
Skip.I do have to say that post is intense ,
Will they last longer, or less time, than a cable laid on the concrete with people driving/tripping over it?such as? please don't suggest those appalling black and yellow things in your search because they will be thrown away after the first few attempted crossings with his trailer.
So they cause more trouble and hazards than an unprotected cable lying on the ground with people driving/tripping over it?In my experience they cause more trouble and hazards than they ever solve.
I'm not.I'm in agreement with your suggestion for the socket
Well something needs to be done to protect a cable laid on the concrete from people driving/tripping over it.and in my last post simply pointing out that those plastic ramps will not be the solution to your situation and I was surprised that BAS suggested them (If indeed that is what he has done).
I'm not.
You should not be.

Who is going to be driving/tripping over it?Will they last longer, or less time, than a cable laid on the concrete with people driving/tripping over it?
It would be skippstress76 if he wasn't unless she is an actor of course.(apologies if the OP is not a he)
Your view is that excuses can be created to justify connecting a static building via a plug & socket arrangement.My view is the ramps would not last very long, or rather would not last in service very long, as they are likely to be shoved to one side and abandoned there, just as I have seen happen several times.
I don't understand your total objection to a perfectly safe and common method of powering a temporary structure. I'll happily compare this setup with a portacabin, the likes of which frequently have a 32A or 64A CEEform inlet.Your view is that excuses can be created to justify connecting a static building via a plug & socket arrangement.
You cannot be reasoned with.
