I would probably just lay the cable on the ground next to the fence.
No need to worry about fixing distances then.
Exactly. Why make a drama out of it. I have done it like that loads of times, it's armoured cable, the clue is in the name. The original sparky obviously thought the same.
It'll still look carp.Fix treated timber to the concrete posts using these

Then clip every 400mm using swa cleats, simple, now why did that takefourfive pages!?
It'll still look carp.
I didn't say chuck it across the flowerbed, I was suggesting to lay it along the bottom of the fence and anchor it on each post so it is sitting on the surface, simple, job done.Better than just chucking across the flowerbed like you've suggested.

HiGents
I need to run 10mm SWA to building at the end of the garden, the electrician suggests clipping it direct to the fence concrete post which are solid enough and says is permissable as digging a trench is not an option. I am concerned about the UV issue, the support element as the posts are 6ft apart.
I have asked him could it be run in galvanised conduit as this would solve the UV and support problem but he says that he has never done this and is a waste of time.
Could I ask you guys for your opininion on this.
Thanks
