Hi there, i have similar project on the go - wiring up a detached shed with a double socket to use as a workshop. i have a couple of questions: i already have outside power , swa cable running down a wall to a rcd ip56 socket, from which the cable runs further down the garden to another plain ip56 socket. the shed is only another few metres on from this socket
do i need part p if i already have outside power, as all im doing is extending it? if i do, it may be quicker to get a sparky in
if not, id enjoy doing it myself. i guess the first point is can i just run another spur off this final socket? i can punch out a 20mm hole on the final socket then shld i use SWA cable and a gland or conduit as well as it will be going under some turf to get to the shed. Finally when i get to the shed, whats the best way of gaining entry?
thx in advance
