Is this dangerous to my 3 yr old grandson

Joe 901 · Sep 11, 2021

Apologies for using this forum once only, but grandson likes to explore and these industrial cables are the other side of my fence and run further in to their garden, slightly hidden,, and I worry about his safety if he pushes through the fence (he's a little rascal)

Thank you

They don't look very industrial? From the small photo they look like power supplies for something like extra low voltage garden lights. Can you post a larger photo please.

I would suggest fixing the fence so the little blighter can’t escape.

Look like SWAs into 2 bulkheads.
They either need fixing up out of the way or
Removing if not in use.
They may be disconnected at the source but may also still be live.

They need investigating by whoever owns the land they are on.

But for now, fix the fence.

Hi

Thanks for the replies.
Size of both boxes are 300 mm x 150 mm x 100 mm deep and the cable diameter is 22 mm.

They sure look industrial and not what you expect in a domestic garden?

Grandson is safe for now, there is a dead conifer covering the fence which I want to remove when it's safe to do so.

Once again, thanks
