    Can i run Twin & Earth outside under the edge of my house?

    I want to get power into my shed. I was wondering if i could run the twin and earth under the edge(lip) of my house and then bury it along my garden and then into my shed so the cable would only be exposed about 10m or so. Please let me know. Many thanks.

    Twin & Earth CCC

    Installing twin & earth LS0H cables

    When installing LS0H cables what type of cable reference type do people put down on the eic? I put down pvc/pvc as the ccc of the cable from manufacturers is the same as standard twin & earth ratings from bs7671 and to be fair it's similar apart from make up of insulation. Thanks.

A SWA cable is ran from the CU to the shed (about 10 meters) but where it enters the shed is too short so my plan is to run a normal twin & earth from a junction box to the subboard (2 meters). Simply to save me buying more...
