Hi all,
I am having a new summerhouse built at the end of my garden circa 50m from house consumer unit. House has TNCS earthing arrangement. I was planning to run a 10mm 2 core SWA cable to the summerhouse and put in an earthing rod and earth direct to that. Someone has just advised to run a 3 core and connect to house earthing. Which is the best option. Obviously would i would get a professional to connect etc but was going to do the majority of the cable runs etc myself. Need to run the cable before summerhouse is built S currently having a patio laid and cable will run under it.
please could someone advise which is the best and safest method.
many thanks in advance.
