    It should be in an enclosure of some sort. A plastic mini trunking with lid can be used and has a sticky back on it, but I would put screws in too. 16 x 25 size mini trunking probably. Or a plastic conduit and saddles, depending on aesthetics etc. I Prefer the conduit myself especially in sheds or garages, but the trunking can look better in a corner of rooms, and the cable needed might need 25mm conduit.

    The cable used should be 10 square twin & earth.
