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).

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

Metal conduit is fine but AIUI you can't fix it to a temporary structure.
