20+ years ago my late father ran some twin and earth from the house to the detached garage, the distance being about 2m. He tied the cable to a tensioned wire which was bolted at each end to brickwork. I have just had the Electrics tested for a Landlords Certificate and he said not only has the cable to be disconnected but it has all to come down so it can't be re-connected when he's left.
We discussed other options, I discounted laying armoured cable underground as it would mean digging up the patio, so he said if I wanted to run a suspended cable between the buildings it would have to be armoured cable. Not sure how that would be supported, presumably by a tensioned wire again.
That sounds a bit extreme to me so I thought I'd ask if there were any easier and cheaper, options, eg; running some kind of conduit with cable in the middle or something like that perhaps, or how about using Orange high vis cable ?
thanks
