[QUOTE="Modeno65, post: 483682, member: 31571"] Hi All - new to this forum I am currently re-doing my back garden completely ie fence, decking, slabs etc and will very soon be at the stage to put power into the area but I am in need of advice as I know very little on the electrics side and don't want to get ripped off. Basically i will need sockets to power LED strip lights, decking lights and a hot tub (inflatable type) - 6 sockets minimum in 3 areas - all within 7m of the house. I have been told off a friend NOT to spur off existing internal sockets but instead to fit a weatherproof consumer unit. There is a slight issue in feeding this due to the position of the existing CU and concrete floors. My questions are: Is the outside CU the best way to go? Any recommendations / advice on the materials I will require Also I want the lights to be on a remote control / wifi / timer plug so i am assuming i will have to house the sockets in a weatherproof box - again advice would be useful Cheers in advance [/QUOTE]
