Shed wiring

[Jupiter01]

My shed has been in a state of disrepair for a few years.
This has an armoured cable coming from the house which then feeds a socket and light switch in the shed. The light is fed off a fused spur in the shed. For safety, I disconnected power from where it leaves the house due to the state of the shed.

Now that I am planning to repair the shed, I thought it would be sensible to replace the cables in the shed. They are currently fixed to the brickwork with plastic conduit.
I've seen a number of sheds with metal conduit and metal sockets. Is this arrangement more suited to sheds and why please?

Thanks in advance.

It's just stronger if you need stronger.

Like why they don't make tables out of marzipan.

For an general purpose domestic shed I suggest that you use metalclad switches and sockets, but use plastic conduit.

If you go for metal conduit then you’ll have to spend a pile of money buying pipe threaders, maybe pipe benders and much more. Pointless unless you are going to do a lot of it (you won’t), and have the skills on how to do it (with respect, you don’t).

There's always ConLock if you're desperate!
