Can type NM cable be used in a detached garage with no interior
walls?

what did your building inspector say after you called him and asked?

I suppose that would depend on if the OP has a building inspector
where he lives. Folks here seem to forget that not all areas have
oppressive codes and inspectors.


When someone proposing to do wiring has to ask what kind of cable to use,
the existence of building codes (and inspectors) don't seem like such a
bad
thing.


It does to those of us who know what we're doing and live in areas
without codes and inspectors.


I agree with you, but I can't tell you how many times I've seen absolutely
horrendous work done by people claiming to know what they're doing.
Personally I think the OP is doing the right thing by asking. The OP did say
in a previous post, that he got outlet requirements from an electrical
inspector, so it is a little surprising that he didn't ask that inspector
what type of wiring would be required.
