Hi All,

In the olden times, my Readers Digest DIY book said the two approved
ways to get a supply to a shed were either burial (probably SWA)
about a foot to 18 inches deep or else. Attaching to a wall (NOT a
fence) at about 6 foot high. A catenary may have been a third
option.

Is there a fourth option that is refs compliant??

I am thinking of running heavy duty metal conduit close to the ground
and fixed to the concrete posts that hold the fence panels (so six
foot centres I think).

You could do that...

Would this be compliant with either PVC, or SWA in it?

SWA would be kind of pointless (i.e. you could run that, with it sat on
the ground against the fence)

Its easier to get singles through conduit than normal T&E

Presently the
extension lead is used for HiFi, lighting and a 2KW Heater and comes
of a spur from a 20A (MCB with an RCD feeding it Radial circuit (I
THINK it may be a ring, but dont KNOW the topology, so had 20A MCBs
fitted rather than 30A). I am thinking to run either 4mm or 6mm. I
could give it a dedicated supply from the CU at extra cost.

The general advice is the cable is cheap compared to the effort of doing
it, so opt for the bigger one to leave more options open in future.
