My fist thought was 4mm but then thought 2.5 would be adequate. I wouldnt be using a great deal of power in there. A small heater sometimes plus the odd power tool, batery charger, alarm system and a couple of florescent strip lights. Thinking about it though you are right 6mm would be a...

I forgot to add, the total cable length will be no more than 12m
