Restore power to outlets on deck
Hi I am about to build a deck ground level. I need to replace the original
wiring that the previous owner totally hashed up. He used direct burial. As I a m putting a deck over whether the run needs to be. From the garage to the upper deck about 12" above the deck I am constructing. What is the best way to achieve this. I am Leary of direct burial in conduit. -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/mainte...k-1195016-.htm |

There is absolutely no extra (heat) derating in a raceway for a cable, no matter what the urban legends say. |
