Outdoor socket brand recommendations

[FatAlan]

Anyone have a go to outdoor socket brand for quality / reliability? Looking to revamp a customers garden socket which funnily enough stopped working as it was attached to the side some decking and was then buried in soil from the adjacent flowerbed ?. Also, are there any ranges that have a decent mounting spike or am I looking at putting my carpentry head on and concoct my own mounting pole/support?

Thanks Ivan. I don't suppose any have a compatible mounting spike?

Sorry, no, and i don't know one that does.

I should be clearer. I've seen spike mounted sockets for temporary use but not intended for perminant use. This i think may be your struggle.

There is a 3D printing company that makes said spikes, I recall DSS Electrical using them to don't have the video to hand though

some unistrut banged into ground. 2 pieces about 7"-8" apart. then 2 pieces cross strut to accomodate the socket. Zebedees are your friend.

Seen plenty mounted on a bit of off cut fence post banged into the ground

Looks like a bit of artistic licence on some bits of wood then ?

Caravan hook ups are fixed to a metal bracket which is basically a bit of angle iron, cut to form a spike with a couple of short bits welded across the edges.

Isn’t there something smaller that could be used for external sockets?
