after my rather vague thread Friday about finding the 30 mtrs of 10mm 2 core swa In the back of me van.....after some views on earthing to the shed, 3 options as far as I’m aware are
1. Run a single 10mm from main met upto the shed and use that
2. Use the armour of the swa, adiabatic permitting..
3. Connect the swa to the main met at source end and TT the shed
Each option is appruthe same cost wise and it’s my own house so Labour is not a big issue, as per title just after others views and preferences....
 
Like you said,tt @ shed end then main bond any extraneous conductive part,water,steel.
Shed protected by Rcd,Swa protected by mcb & Main earthing system,job a good one.

Thanks chaps, nothing extraneous I am leaning towards the armour......better hon up on the adiabatic,
 
Talking of red and black..
I extended a 6mm rb t&e last week with some 6mm rb that I’ve had in the workshop for years...
Just had to get it off my chest, please don’t judge me or tell my mum
