Hi
I know this has been asked many times before, but just wondering...

House did have a spur from ring to shed a while back. This was laid
under path etc as standard 2.5mm in various conduits (mostly old
hosepipe). This was surely the way to do it in the 60's.
Anyway, that failed at various places and with some burn marks too. It
has now been disconnected by an electrician when he was re-wiring the
kitchen. The shed did have it's own set of fuses, but ALL of the
electrics have now been removed due to cracking, age, etc.

So, is it acceptable to run normal cable in a more suitable conduit as a
fused spur off the main house ring along the top of a fence some 20m to
the shed? The wire run would exit the house about a foot from the
ground, go up the wall about 2m then across about 1m to the fence. Along
the fence and enter the shed. Only to be used for lighting and normal
power tools.

I wouldn't. I'd run armoured cable in the original conduit if I could.
Even if no more than to have a house I wasn't ashamed to sell on, one day

Totally agree it was the way they did it. My parents 1968 built house
had a detached garage with 2.5mm T&E (with a 1mm cpc) in hosepipe under
the lawn.

T&E or singles in conduit is fine however I would just use SWA.

I suspect you'd struggle to get more than a few feet of SWA inside a
hosepipe ...

Not along a fence, which isn't considered a permanent structure.

Along a wall is okay.

If you don't want to go underground, overhead cable on a catenary wire is ok.

Cable in proper conduit is ok, although I would be less keen on "top of
the fence" bit.

Having said that, SWA is much simpler - since it in effect has its own
conduit, and so less aggro.

The wire run would exit the house about a foot from the
ground, go up the wall about 2m then across about 1m to the fence. Along
the fence and enter the shed. Only to be used for lighting and normal
power tools.

I would probably clip it to the base of the fence, or for that matter
lay it on the ground if its not going to be in the way of anything.
Ideally bury it, but that may be impractical.

Might be worth looking at:

I have SWA routed along a solid (horse proof) post and rail fence.
It's lasted 20 years already and survived one bit of fence collapse

My trouble is squirrels. We have a pressure pump for garden watering in its own little house attached to garage. A squirrel keeps his stash in there and for all I know hibernates in it also. When he wants a cheap thrill or all his nuts are gone he starts on the wiring for the pump.
He's aggressive too. In the adjacent ditch there is hazel growing and if he sees you near it in the autumn when it is covered in nuts he runs down and hisses at you

Depends on the diameter. 16A stuff no probs. 60A stuff, you are right.

BUT the OP doesn't need to get it in more than a few feet - only where
it goes under concrete paths etc.

I can't see why you would insert such gratuitous nonsense into the
discussion other than for your own perverted gratification.

There are structures described as fences that form part of the
infrastructure of prisons and other establishments that are very
definitely permanent structures. Serious concrete, large size I sections
and rails, mesh that would stop a truck, etc.

It has electric fence tape protecting it for that very reason. :-)

Horses will use anything like that as a scratching post and 500kg of
horse will soon loosen most fence posts, nibbling isn't in it!

Yes, it's a very good idea if you can separate the outside circuits,
they do have more reasons for tripping in my experience. Until I
separated ours the garden would trip the garage circuit that powered
the door that gave access to the outside consumer unit! (We did have
alternative access but that involved finding the key to the side door
and fighting through piles of junk)

I know. I had to dig down under one at a secure unit last year to power
their new lampposts.

This was just a mesh fence.

Just to add the choice of shrubbery is almost certainly there to stop
people from digging their way out.

And that was at the ward I was given keys to and not the very secure
unit round the corner that needs fingerprint access to open doors.

Outside electrics are no longer classed as notifiable.

However installing a whole new circuit is. So something similar to
previous (i.e. spur[1] from existing circuit) would not need notification.

[1] Make it a double pole switched spur, and you then have a means of
isolating the outside stuff if a fault causes tripping on the house
circuit.

Adding an FCU is allowed and non-notifiable (yes?).

Yes

Adding a new circuit for a shed is notifiable.

A new circuit back to the main CU would be notifiable.

Does that include adding
cable to the other side of the FCU?

No, that's extending an existing circuit.

Since your house circuit likely already has 30mA trip RCD protection,
then that is fine for the shed also. However if you are likely to be in
there using power tools after dark, then it might be sensible to include
a "non maintained" emergency light in the shed, just in case you trip
something while still holding a "spinning down" machine.

Horses are vicious violent *******s

Thats because that and their speed is all they have against predators.

no idea why Penelope wants one for her 15th birthday

Its certainly something that appeals to young girls for some reason.

other than it has teeth that look like her mothers dentures that were used
to replace the teeth the horse kicked out of her mouth.

Whatever he does, I'd use armoured cable. I still have mine connected
waiting for a new shed, but looking at it its completely unscathed and that
would not be the case with anything else out there for that long even if it
were in some conduit.

Hi
I know this has been asked many times before, but just wondering...

House did have a spur from ring to shed a while back. This was laid under
path etc as standard 2.5mm in various conduits (mostly old hosepipe).
This was surely the way to do it in the 60's.
Anyway, that failed at various places and with some burn marks too. It
has now been disconnected by an electrician when he was re-wiring the
kitchen. The shed did have it's own set of fuses, but ALL of the
electrics have now been removed due to cracking, age, etc.

So, is it acceptable to run normal cable in a more suitable conduit as a
fused spur off the main house ring along the top of a fence some 20m to
the shed? The wire run would exit the house about a foot from the ground,
go up the wall about 2m then across about 1m to the fence. Along the
fence and enter the shed. Only to be used for lighting and normal power
tools.

Ta.

I wouldn't. I'd run armoured cable in the original conduit if I could.
Even if no more than to have a house I wasn't ashamed to sell on, one day
