I am laying some armoured cable (specification for direct burial) to replace the horrendous bodge that some previous owner installed to power the pond pump, and also to provide an extra outside socket.
This will be attached to a handy external junction box installed for this purpose, on an independent circuit, by my electrician when the extension was built recently.
What isn't clear are the rules about depth of cable, e.g. "at a depth sufficient to avoid damage by foreseeable disturbance of the ground" can be interpreted in so many ways. I also understand that cables can be surface mounted to walls and other structures of sufficient rigidity.
So, how about attaching a cable to a wall, but just below ground?
For half of my cable run, this is how it could be done, and the less I have to dig, the better, to be honest.
So, can I clip a cable to the wall (which borders a lawn) foundation, six inches below ground level, and cover with warning tape etc?
