Can anyone tell me if this is going to work or suggest things to watch out for? I need to get about 10 cables (audio, speaker, not mains) from TV to PC, about 5 metres along the wall in the lounge. But fireplace is in the way and trunking would look terrible, underfloor isnt an option, and I want to be able to add extra wires easily in future.
So I thought about using pipes out through the wall along the wal outside & back in again. (other side of the brick cavity wall is just the side passage so aesthetics are OK) eg. using
-about water ingress from the pipe to the lounge? Do I have to make sure to point the pipes downwards as they go out through the wall. And should I make the outside pipe run slope down with a drain hole at the bottom? Or just keep it horizontal & hope no water gets in.
-what do I use to seal around the cables ? (obviuosly need to stop draughts, insects etc) I think they use some sort of plasticene sometimes.
-is the white pipe OK to use outside - does it discolour or crack in sunlight/cold?
-do you think this is OK, a bodge or is there a better idea!
Thanks for any advice or experience, keith
cheers
