    Hi all,

    About to get a new shed (metal).

    Want to put ESB into it, lights and a couple of sockets.

    About 3m from the new shed is a block built shed which has ESB.

    Any suggestions about best (and least expensive) means of getting ESB to the new shed.

    Thanks in advance.

    I think you mean electricity rather than ESB. There would be a massive difference in cost between the two.

    The no so neat way (and probably cheapest) would be to run an overhead cable between the 2 sheds.
    The neat way would be to run an underground cable between the two sheds.

    You also need to ensure that the cable to the existing shed is heavy enough to take the combined loading and as its a metal shed, make especially sure the earth is up to scratch:)
