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.
