I’ve reclaimed a concrete sectional garage, and plan to rebuild it as a shed. The shed dimensions are likely to be 3m by 6m. Each panel is 60cm wide by 1m high. So I’ll be using two panels to get to my full height of 2m. The shed is at the back of the garden, with only a narrow 80cm access...

Hi all, I want to run electric to two sheds. The sheds are located about 15 metres from the main house and are located together (probably a couple of metres between them). I wanted to seek advice from those 'in the trade' as to the best way to do this. I do have a plan but need to make sure...
