[QUOTE="lee3366, post: 518067, member: 34013"] Hi Recently moved into a new build house, and in the corner of my lawn (adjacent to garage) is an earth rod (protrudes by 2 inches above lawn height) from the earth rod runs a sleeved earth cable (approx 6 inches long and exposed before feeding through the garage wall) it is connected to a car charging point (situated on an internal garage wall). I asked the builders to cover it as it’s exposed and could be prone to lawnmower or strimmer damage and I didn’t want the kids touching it. They said “it’s safe” and won’t add any protection. Are the builders correct? I think this is shoddy and should be covered, would appreciate any advice on this on safety or standards grounds. Thank you Lee [/QUOTE]
