Default sockets in a metal shed

Hi All

I have a metal shed and want to intall a couple of sockets. Can I use
the regular plastic variety or do I need something special because the
walls are metal?

Kind regards
Colin

I would fit metal boxes and sockets as they are less likely to get broken.
Make sure you have an RCD as electricity is more dangerous around earthed
metal.
