I've wired some cable to a small 3x3 shed with 2 gpos, a 15a GPO, and a light. The shed is about 2m away from the house on a concrete slab.

The 15a gpo (4mm) is run back to the house mbox location currently coiled above in the roofspace.

The light (1mm) and gpos (2.5mm) are run to the house and left by the nearest junctions ready for connecting.

Everything is wired completely enclosed in conduit and sealed mounting blocks so there's no bare cabling exposed anywhere.

My concern is earthing. The shed is basically a colorbond shed from Stratco and needs earthing from what I read from AS3000. I need this step properly sorted before I liven it up.

Do I run an earth wire (like a 6mm) back to the mbox to be bonded to the main earth?
