Should have said the supply to the garage is rarely used

Among other things use IP 56 rated sockets and the supply must be rcd protected. If there are extraneous-conductive-parts they will need bonding.

That is what i was wondering - depends on construction methods i s'pose. Probs needed to be tested.

its 0.06 ohms just say

i just threw that in for opinions. personally, i would class it as structural metalwork and bond it. like to see others' thoughts.

unless or course the socket outlet was fixed to a wooden post and not attached to the fabric of the greenhouse, perhaps.

could just plant it in bucket of muc and plug it in from garage, a b&q jobbie

Think it is if it is simultaneously accessible from the socket that counts. Mind putting a heater in a greenhouse is like throwing money away!
