I need a 150' extension cord and all I can find are 100' cords. Yes I
know I can plug a 50' cord into a 100' cord, but that gives a lump foe
my cord winder; I would still like a 150' cord. Any clue who sells
them? Don't need heavy duty, a light flexible cord would be best.

If you take Iggy's suggestion be sure that you put the male and female
plugs on the correct ends of the wire. Otherwise the current will be
trying to flow upstream and damage may result.

Well, obviously. Also note that you may need a larger AWG of wire than
is called for by the required ampacity of the load in order to keep
the voltage drop within reason.

Particularly important if you're running an extension to your shed to
run a compressor (as in a beer fridge). Too much series resistance can
lead to a stalled compressor on start-up and subsequent frying and
warm beer.
