I have a similar problem to JD - except I have no outside cabling at all.
My garden is currently being rescued rom years of neglect by the previous owner, and it is planned to build a garage, to which I would like to provide lighting and power. This will be built at the far end of the garden, some distance from the house.
It s also planned, eventually, to install a hot tub in the garden, which will also require a power supply.
Finally, I have a decking area, where I will eventually install some (low voltage?) lighting, and possibly some kind of water feature, and a small outside toilet which needs at least a light.
The hot tub people I have spoken to tell me I need a 6mm SWA cable for this (fair enough?) my question is - can I run a similar cable for the garage - and is it possible / legal / safe to "T" off this for the decking / toilet light, or do I need to run seperate SWA cables for everything?
Any advice would be gratefully received
