Good morning
As part of a little job im doing i need to get 2 double sockets into a little glass green house with a steel frame.
I know the sockets need to be ip rated,bonding steel frame and rcd protection etc but it has got me thinking how im going to fit the sockets in there with it all being glass. { nothing to really fix to }
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
 
2 pieces of 40mm2 unistrut into the ground with a bit of inch timber fixed neatly across it, materials required=1 length of 40 mm2 unistrut, 4 6mm2 zebadees, 4 6 mm2 penny washers, 4 50mm2 long 6mm2 gutter bolts, a bit of wood from a building site, a large lump hammer to belt the unistrut into the ground at least 18" so it is solid and will not move. LOL

OR..... 1 glass drill,2 M6 set screws,4 M6 washers,2 M6 nylocs,4 1/4" rubber tap washers and a very accurately adjusted torque wrench...
 
Its on a concrete base so i will probably just build something similar to what MDJ says, i seem to be getting a few of these outside shed jobbies lately.
would you bond the greenhouse steel frame even though cabling is rcd protected ?
When i was asked to pop in and look at this job i was expecting a big old allotment type thing but its only 6x4 foot.
 
test the frame to see if it's extraneous. (<22k to MET).

This - Main bonding is required for anything extraneous, regardless of rcd protection - hopefully you won't have to - take Tel's advice (above) and check it.
