The shed is about 3m from the house so ill gaffer tape the extension leads to the washing line but what lights do you guys recommend?
 
If the washing line is plastic coated steel then no need for the cable, whack a stake in the ground at the shed for N and E and use the washing line as the live. Voila, a home made TNC supply.
 
Aye, that's all very well but what if he wants to put the light on at night when it's dark??? :smilielol5:

You won't electrocute yourself, but you might burn the shed down.
Dangerous places, sheds.

What a stupid question! "Gaffer tape"???? Need to use metal cable ties now, keep up with the regs!!!

As for lights? You should go for 6 x 500w sodium floodlights. That extension cord will be ok, I think?????
