Hi all:
I am going to be trying to add an electrical circuit to a gazebo that
is being placed in a backyard that is already completed/grown out. �I
don't think it would be possible to dig a trench without compeltely
destroying portions of our plantings, not to mention the cost of
trenching. �Is there a type of conduit that can be placed above ground
(its about a 50' run) and safely house electrical from the elements?
I'm thinking of just running the conduit along the property line fence
since there are a lot of shrubberies in front of it and the conduit
would not be visible. �Would fixed metal conduit suffice or does that
have to be buried? �I know I've seen above-ground conduit before, but
only in short lengths.
*Galvanized rigid conduit (RMC) or intermediate conduit (IMC) only needs to
be 6" deep. �You could score a shallow trench with a pick ax.
You can strap PVC to the fence.
OP could dig a hole at either end and drill a lole underground,
pushing or pulling conduit to protect the line. Its amazingly easy to
drill underground
Use a concrete bit and extensions
