hello.
Dejavu for some folk, but here’s the scenario:

My house is two-storey brick, my shed is 10’x3’ (odd size I know, but the back yard is small) made entirely of wood, no metal at all.
The gap between the house wall and shed is 300-400mm.
At present there is no power to the shed, so I have to run an extension lead from the lounge if I want to use anything.
The only power tools I use in the shed is a vacuum cleaner, power drill, and maybe a small bandsaw if I buy one.
My questions are:
Can I run a spur off the upstairs RFC, run it under the floorboards, through the brick wall and conduit down to the shed?
I’m aware that non-fused spur can only have 1 single or double socket outlet, where fused spur is unlimited(BS7671).
If yes, then what’s the best conduit to use?
And as for the bends, I don’t want to have to hack out a lot of brick to accommodate for the bend radius. Are there 90 degree elbow fittings for outside use?
Thanks I’m advance
:)

An IP rated adaptable box fixed to the outside wall would look neater and gland your SWA into that. Then just bring your supply from your house to the adaptable box. And a short stab of conduit into the back of the box with a bush and coupler to protect cable through wall if your feeling fancy.
