Extending an electric cable for water feature

[swisscheese]

We bought a water feature with a 240V pump. We also have an outdoor RCD socket but the electric cable is too short for where we went to install the fountain.

What's the best way to extend the cable? As the fountain will be installed on the edge of a wooden deck, we can lay the cable along or underneath it.

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Try one of these. Use cable glands for a weatherproof connection.

Why mess with adaptable boxes? All you need to do is join a new flex, and http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/BRH65Z.html seems ideal for the job.

Or you could get a proper socket fitted where you actually require it

My water feature is working fine after having successfully installed a flex between the two cables. Thanks for your help!

Do I really want you to clarify this?
