Not at all, I found it really useful - I have a small garden workshop on
my wish list and I'm now in a much better position to weigh-up pyro as
an option to get power out there.

It was only really for interest. Don't expect many to make use of it.

To get power to an outbuilding I'd say SWA a better option. And cheaper,
as well as more readily available. Inside the workshop, my choice would be
steel conduit and steel surface mount accessories.

Pyro has largely gone out of use because there are easier and cheaper
alternatives. As I said at the start of the article it's only really
worth using for cosmetic reasons in most domestic situations. Like running
across an exposed oak beam. Or brickwork in a conservatory, etc.

Whoa, I didn't say pyro's my chosen option!! You've helped me decide
NOT to choose it, LOL. It's marketed as a fireproof cabling system which
it does appear to excel at.
