Electrical question , power to shed

[raleighnut]

As long as the lead has a plug at the end (i.e. It isn't connected to the mains) then it's just an extension lead so no regulations apply.
It's how I provide power to my summerhouse.

Installing the cable at height is permissible and in line with the regs.

3.5 metres above the ground should be OK if there are no vehicles.

We had to run some power out across a road in east London a long time ago. We used a catenary between two chimney stacks. It was really easy but we had the Local Authority batting on our side and it was in the days before H&S.

The shed and garage are only about 2.5m high ... but no vehicles, unless you count the wheelbarrow.

Just don't ride in it standing up wielding a samurai sword.

To stop crap like this being installed by a 'Sparky' maybe.
