whats your views on clipping standard rubber flex to a wooden fence to power lights and a garden shed????

Fences are often deemed to be temporary structures, and although there is nothing specific in the Regs, permanently attaching equipment to temporary structures is frowned upon by many.
Then of course there's the lack of mechanical protection, and what (if any) effect fence treatment methods might have on the cable.
I wouldn't be happy with it.

Rcd is a must. I think the problem is with mechanical protection. Possible to put it in pvc conduit?


Spin beat me to it.

Personally wouldnt, it'll end up with the cable holding the fence up when it gets blown over

its not me doing it by the way!!

neighbour getting it done and im watching the spark install black flex under top rail and white under middle rail...!!

I don't like that idea either - I don't reckon a wooden fence would be robust enough.
How come you can't bury swa?

It looks better than what the next house have done - is that a catenary wire going diagonally across the garden to the shed?

i went to one a while back who`s light stopped working about the same time as the washing line fell down umm i wonder what the washing line coming from the house was? straight out the house down to the shed not supported in any way.
