Outdoor Outlet Placement/Install

OffRoad322 · Apr 27, 2020

Hello,
We are making changes to our backyard and needed to move an existing 2 gang outlet. We have existing outlet at the other end of the yard. We are wiring the existing outlet to the 2 gang outlet, but need help on where to mount the 2 gang. As you can see from the attached pictures, we are along the fence line with the wiring, not near the house.

Technically not a wiring question, I have that part handled, but how would a licensed electrician mount the outlet and a landscape transformer together? The picture shows where the wiring is coming up from the breaker and the other outlet in the yard come together.

Offroad you don’t have a lot of options but in the corner measure out so it’s not touching the rocks or the fence dig a hole big enough for a 4x4 and put it in that hole and pour in some concrete, that way you have a great mounting surface to install your outlet and it’s not attached to the rocks or fence
