Bring Electrical Power To Your Shed
One of the main ways to utilise a shed is to store equipment for the garden. When you think of buying a garden shed, it’s not just storage that most people have in mind though. For some, their ideas are much bigger.
Garden Shed Uses
Garden sheds are bought for a variety of different reasons these days because they have multiple purposes. An array of items are usually stored in a shed, and these can include garden tools such as lawnmowers and shears. Garden furniture is often stored there too, particularly during the winter’s months. Furthermore, depending on how cluttered it gets, you may also be likely to store bin bags, pots of paint, and other so called “essential” items that haven’t been used for years. Alternatively, it could be a garden gym or an office that you need for your garden. Hobby rooms are also popular, and for that type of arrangement you will need a form of lighting, because you’ll be spending an extended period of time there, rather than shuffling around for the lawnmower.
Lighting Regulations
Not every form of lighting for a shed is practical and safe, so you need to be careful. Make sure you don’t simply run an extension cable from the house to the shed. The reason you shouldn’t do this is because it’s unsafe. It may be fine to do that for the odd DIY project, but not as a long-term solution for the continued use of light in your shed. Major domestic electrical installations have to abide by specific building regulations . These requirements include reasonable provision for the design and installation of the lighting arrangement. It should account for fire safety, ventilation, structure integrity and others.
Hook Up An Electrical Cable
A Steel Wire Armoured is needed for you to lay any electrics you might need above or below ground. The most visibly appeasing option is to lay the cable below ground so you won’t be able to see the messy snake look. To comply with building regulations the cable needs to be buried at least one metre deep in the ground. It is important you mark the areas of your garden with warning signs to make sure that safety is taking into considerations After all, you don’t want garden diggers to cut up your cable.
