Hi Peter,how many sockets,any lights and how far is the shed away.

 

[Peter Woodford]

shed is only about 3 metres away was going to put in 13amp fused spur then on the light side go down to a 5amp
5 sockets in total

What are you going to be running off these sockets.Seems a bit excessive if you are going to have the lights on there as well,if you're spurring off an existing ringSeparate supply might be more suitable

Hardy anything really they will hardy be used just to charge bAttery for drill lawn mower and I pod

And beer fridge most important

I would put a fused spur by the socket intended to feed the shed into an IP rated adaptable box.In the shed i would do as you said in the 1st post,another spur,fused down to 3 Amp for the lights but i would keep the sockets to a maximum of 2.The beer fridge is most important

for ease i would just put a plug on cable and plug it into the house and put a 6 way block in shed an plug lights in with in line switch.
then its not needing a certificate.

Whats the loading on existing ring ? are there any other spurs off it ? whats the loading on shed ?
Just a thought

You mentioned fridge and lights and potentially a 6x block extension lead, and although you say your not going to overload, the potential that someone else might do is there, so i would run a supply back to con/unit then it doesn,t matter mate.
If you do choose the other options, is the socket you are coming off on the r/main, or is that a spur, if its the latter, its a no no.
