Discuss Power to shed. Thoughts? in the Electrical Wiring, Theories and Regulations area at ElectriciansForums.net

IMO better than spurring from downstairs ring (where applicable). Most home owners want more than just one socket outside eventually so why just give them one when you can have a dedicated radial on its own RCBO. Easier than punching holes in walls through utility rooms too.

At least if you spur from the ring you don't leave the installation without a single main switch!
But in all seriousness I don't particularly condone installing a shed supply from a ring either.

Your solution doesn't show any consideration for discrimination. And this thread isn't about installing a single outdoor socket, it's about a submain to a shed.

Just because something is easier it doesn't mean it is the best installation design.
