yep I agree deffo not deep enough I had to do a similar job at me bruvs his ran in the border though, so as it was prone to digging and disturbance I dug 600mm deep, installed it in ducting to protect from sharp stones also to future proof if ever it needed replacement for drawing fresh cables in. I am sure in the regs it is at sufficient depth to avoid damage from digging so minimum 450mm and warning tape 150mm from surface when it crosses a garden.

As for the chandeliers I had a picture in my mind of only fools and horses when they dropped it lol

No depth mentioned in regs, it just has to be deep enough as to prevent danger or damage I think the wording is.

Nice pictures...trench not deep enough...I like your logo...

And that squire is a compliment sandwich

Lets face it, it isn't deep enough lol, anyhow JRC knows I am pulling his leg, hes a decent fella, I have told him several times.

Not deep enough, hell all he's done is lifted the turf!! Cleared away any sharp stones, ...Nope, as for Warning tape, ....don't be so daft!! Really what's the point, ...Fork or shovel goes into the ground, hits and damages the cable before you even get a chance to see any warning tape, even if one was laid.
