Overhead power supply to shed

[pollard1977]

just a quick question.

Am I ok to have a SWA cable or conduit ran overhead from the house CU to a shed CU. The distance is only about 2 metres and would save digging up the concrete floor.

Many thanks for replies in advanced.

Conduit should be heavy duty, and no joins.

SWA should be supported by a catenary wire, and/or supported so that there's no strain on the terminations.

Height AGL should be at least 5.3m if the position is accessible to vehicles (probably not), or otherwise at least 3m.
