Hi,
I'm running a 70ft underground UF cable in 3/4 inch PVC conduit to 2 sheds. The sheds are 3ft from each other. I'm just a DIYer enthusiast so learning. What's the best way to service both sheds with the 1 UF cable. Is there a T connection I can use or what's practical? I just need a receptacle and light switch in each shed for basic use. I was going to use two 3/4" LBs (conduits bodies) to access each shed. Not sure of the most convenient way to wire between both sheds underground however as an underground T connector doesn't sound legit. Maybe put a junction box on 1 shed and run a separate conduit across to other shed underground?
Thanks

That would be fine if you install a junction box on 1 Shed and then come out of the box to feed the other shed. Do not splice underground without the proper junction box which is required to have access to it. Good luck and welcome to the forum.
